5. Bielefelder Museumsrallye

Admission free

Six museums, 36 questions and two bicycles – go on a varied discovery tour through art, history, architecture and natural sciences. Answer the questions of at least five museums to be in the lottery pot and win great prizes.

On International Museum Day, May 17, 2026, six Bielefeld museums will once again open their doors for the fifth edition of the Bielefeld Museum Rally. The initiative, which was launched in collaboration with the “Bielefelder Konsens — Pro Bielefeld” association, aims to make the city’s diverse museum landscape visible and tangible for children, young people and adults.

Included are:

Historical Museum Bielefeld
Art Gallery Bielefeld
Kunstverein Bielefeld
Museum Huelsmann
Museum Laundry Factory
Natural History Museum Bielefeld

Taking part in the museum rally is easy: a rally booklet containing a total of 36 questions – six questions per museum – will be available in each of the six museums on May 17, 2026. The museums are open from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on the day of the event, and admission and participation in the rally are free of charge.

The award ceremony for the successful participants will take place on June 10, 2026 at 6 pm at Café Gemach Manhattan in the Kunsthalle.

The yellow-orange background and the bouquet filling the picture are painted with broad brushstrokes. They appear quick and dynamic. The red of the flowers and the blue and green of the leaves and stems stand out strongly. Everything is abstracted, and at the edge of the picture it looks as if there is a torn paper edge.

Flowers everywhere
