Long night of museums: Retz inspires with shuttle bus and diversity

On October 5, the museums in Retz illuminated the city as part of the long night of the museums and invited visitors to experience the region's cultural variety. This time there was an exciting innovation: a shuttle bus that combined the four participating museums. Mayor Stefan Lang was thrilled and took the opportunity to explore the exhibitions.

The Retz bicycle museum, the city museum with the southern Moravian gallery, the adventure cellar and the Unterretzbach railway museum offered interesting insights into the history and culture of the region that evening. Visitors were able to visit all four museum locations with a single ticket, which increased the success of the event. The shuttle bus, operated with a nostalgic acid diesel, had various stops, including at the Retz train station and the museums in Ober- and Mitterretzbach. This special way of arrival was a nostalgic experience for many.
