Long Night of Museums at Molsdorf Castle: Experience art, sound, and history

A summer evening at Molsdorf Castle combining art, music, and history

For the Long Night of Museums 2026, the Molsdorf Castle Museum opens its late Baroque rooms on Friday, May 29, 2026, for a multifaceted art experience. Visitors can expect a program with hourly guided tours through the state rooms, musical sound journeys with Falk Zenker in the Great Hall, and a family-friendly look at the exhibition Snout Noses Raspberry Green by Katharina Sieg. The castle is located in a historic park ensemble on the southern outskirts of Erfurt and is considered one of the most distinctive Baroque cultural monuments in the city.

Late Baroque spatial effect with a lively museum atmosphere

The tours draw attention to the historical state rooms, whose architecture and furnishings shape the character of the house. Especially in the unique exhibition atmosphere of a Long Night, light, spatial sequence, and materiality unfold the impact that makes Molsdorf Castle such an impressive cultural-historical site. The house is open from Tuesday to Sunday; for regular museum operations, the city of Erfurt cites opening hours from April to October from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM.

Music in the Great Hall and art for young explorers

A special highlight is the short live sets by Falk Zenker, which will sound after the tours. His guitar and looping formats create an atmospheric contrast to the Baroque architecture and enhance the evening's aesthetic experience. The program is complemented by the exhibition Snout Noses Raspberry Green, where Katharina Sieg develops colorful imagery for children and adults using analog and digital techniques. The art museums Erfurt describe her works as an entrance to a wonderful world of shimmering figures, enchanted landscapes, and fine humor.
