As the sun begins to set, enter the secret world of The Night Museum — an unmissable week-long exploration of the hidden, the illicit and the lost. Join us in and around the Museum of London for a free after-dark mini-season of late-night parties, ghost clubs, dark electronica, dystopian visions, lost sounds, night voices, drinking dens, walks into darkness and mythical creatures of the night.

Lauren Parker, Senior Commissioning Curator at the Museum of London, said: “As the sun sets, The Night Museum will bring lost parts of London’s nightlife back to life. We’ll be paying homage to London’s club culture in the ‘Museum of Last Parties’ and inviting visitors to eavesdrop on some of London’s lost sounds. London’s night economy is a hot topic: with the uncertainty around Fabric’s future, and the arrival of the Night Tube, a lot is changing. We’re opening our doors after hours and want the city’s night owls to come and join the party.”
