For one night each April nearly fifty Hamburg museums remain open until 2:00am as part of Hamburg's Long Night of the Museums event. I have been looking forward to this event for months and was THRILLED when the day finally arrived. Don't let the word 'museum' fool you--there was nothing boring about this art bonanza. Live music, food and drinks, and even fifties make-up styling made the event a complete success.
Next up: Bucerius Kunst Forum, A modern art museum located right next to the Rathaus. This museum was rockin' a fifties theme which was a tribute to the German artist on display, Gerhard Richter. I am a lover of all art, even the most unique, but Mr. Richter's art caught me by surprise:
After touring the gallery, we headed upstairs for live music and...
After getting our fix of fifties shenanigans, we moved onto Diechtorhallen to get a taste of more modern art, and, of course, some late night snacks.
After getting a good dose of modern art we attempted to make it to Beatlemania, a museum dedicated to the Beatles' history in Hamburg, but we didn't make it in time. Who would have thought eight hours wouldn't have been enough to see all we wanted to see? They can count on my attendance next year!

| The Rathaus, Hamburg's elegant Town Hall, was transformed into a chic venue alive with live music, dancing, and many happy Hamburgers. |

| Never having had toured the Rathaus, we explored every room. |

| Parliament |

| Underneath the Rathaus is Restaurant Parlament, a trendy place that gets me excited about a visit. |

| Mary and a very beautiful and very BIG painting of the original Rathaus. |

| Fifties make-up! Courtest of Aveda we got plastered with lots and lots of eye make-up. |
