Open days on 18 and 19 September
Two mornings to discover the place before it opens, meet the community and ask any question you like.
On Friday 18 and Saturday 19 September 2026, from 9am to 12pm, the Living Museum Neuchâtel opens its doors in Saint-Blaise. Free entry, no booking.
What to expect
Nothing formal, nothing imposing. We show you around, we explain what a Living Museum is, and you leave whenever you like. Come alone or with someone, stay ten minutes or all morning.
It is also a good moment to ask the questions people hesitate to ask: do I need to know how to draw, do I need to register, can I come just to watch. The answers are no, no, and yes.
And afterwards
The place opens officially on Tuesday 22 September, then welcomes visitors Monday to Friday, 9am to 2pm.
Rue du Temple 9, 2072 Saint-Blaise.
