On Saturday, April 27, the Long Night of Museums 2024 took place in Hamburg. The Museum of Nature Hamburg participated with all three permanent exhibitions and set a new record: In total, we counted more than 5,800 visitors in the Zoological, Mineralogical, and Geological-Paleontological exhibitions between 6 pm and 1 am. There was an exciting and varied program with many interactive activities, information booths, guided tours, and lectures to discover. We would like to thank all the helpers and our fantastic audience.
