The event features a different theme each month, usually based on a particular exhibition or artwork at the museum. Recent themes included “New Beginnings” (for the New Year), “You’re So Golden”, and “#InclusiveMuseum”. Past events have also been themed around female subjects of the museum’s artworks, festivals like Halloween, and animals depicted in the museum’s paintings (“The Beast Within”).
Kunstschatzi attendees can go on exclusive guided tours of the museum’s galleries, based on the party’s theme. For instance, December 2024’s “You’re So Golden” theme included a ‘Golden Girls, Golden Guys’ tour featuring some of the museum’s more risqué artworks. These tours are held in English and German and offer unique perspectives and insights into the art collections. So you can sip on your drink as you contemplate the masterpieces.
Live DJs from the Radio Rudina online radio channel, like YPSY and DJ LELO, curate an eclectic mix of music, transforming the grand hall into a dynamic dance floor. Live dance performances, showcasing various styles and artistic expressions, add to the vibrant atmosphere, complete with disco balls. Lose yourself in the music and dance the night away.
