On June 20, 2026, Sopron comes to life again: Night of the Museums is not just a program but a journey into the city’s hidden world. One tower. One villa. Old courtyards. Children’s laughter. Walls that keep secrets. An evening when medieval streets and historic buildings begin to speak, and visitors can peek into places that remain hidden on ordinary days. Across multiple venues, with stories spanning the entire downtown, everyone is welcome in 9400 Sopron on Saturday, 06/20/2026.
Iconic Locations Opening Citywide
The Sopron Museum is not a single building, but an entire city’s worth of experiences: historic gateways, special exhibitions, interactive family programs, and unconventional guided tours fill every space. The Museum Quarter, the Fire Tower (Tűztorony), the Lenck Villa (Lenck-villa), the Central Mining Museum (Központi Bányászati Múzeum), the Cobblestone Children’s Museum (Macskakő Gyermekmúzeum), the Old Synagogue (Ó-zsinagóga), the Évárium Toy Collection (Évárium Játékgyűjtemény), the Pharmacy Museum (Patika Múzeum), the Baker’s House (Pék-ház), and the József Horváth Collection of Sopron (Soproni Horváth József Gyűjtemény) each offer a different world — and each holds a story worth discovering on June 20.
National Highlight
In 2026, Sopron is rightfully one of the featured stops: in few cities do history, built heritage, and a living cultural community come together so naturally. If you want to experience a whole city turning into a museum, this is the night to be in Sopron.
