WHAT A NIGHT! Local Lenses & Fresh Views

As part of WHAT A VIEW!, the House for Photography and Media Art opens its doors for a lively after-work format: featuring inspiring guided tours of the exhibitions, hands-on workshops, and discussions with artists. Here, photography is not only observed but also discussed, experimented with, and collectively reimagined.

The museum visit becomes a meeting point: drinks, relaxed music, and time for exchange create an open space for the art scene, photography enthusiasts, and the curious. WHAT A NIGHT! combines knowledge and pleasure, professional perspectives and personal encounters – making Friday evening a focal point for everyone who wants to celebrate photography with us.
