Jena, March 22, 2026 – The Städtische Museen Jena are offering a new campaign for culture lovers throughout 2026: admission is free on the last Sunday of every month. Participating institutions include the Romantikerhaus, the Kunstsammlung, and the Stadtmuseum.
Discover Culture at No Cost
With the introduction of the new Museum Sunday, the Städtische Museen Jena aim to make the city’s cultural diversity more accessible to all citizens. The offer is effective immediately. On these campaign days, visitors have the opportunity to immerse themselves in the rotating exhibitions and permanent collections of the three major municipal institutions without ticket costs.
The goal of the initiative is to lower the barrier to visiting a museum and to invite both locals and guests of the city to rediscover Jena’s museum landscape again and again. The regular opening hours of the institutions remain in effect on the admission-free Sundays.
