Summer Cinema under the open sky in the historic Museum Courtyard
The Open-Air Cinema in the Museum Courtyard brings genuine summer cinema feeling back to the old town of Erlangen on June 5, 2026. In the romantic inner courtyard of the city museum, a unique event experience with mild evenings, cool drinks, and a relaxed audience atmosphere is created.
An evening between old town charm and cinema magic
The Museum Courtyard is considered one of the most atmospheric settings for outdoor cinema in Erlangen. The cooperation between the City Museum Erlangen and Lamm-Lichtspiele stands for carefully selected movie nights, clear organization, and an audience that appreciates the mix of culture, summer evenings, and old town ambience.
What visitors can expect
Starting at 8:30 PM, the courtyard of the City Museum opens; entry is via the Altstädter Kirchenplatz. The screening begins at 9:30 PM. On-site, drinks and snacks create the right cinema feeling, while the historical surroundings make the evening unforgettable. According to the event announcement, the evenings take place in any weather.
A place with history and good accessibility
The City Museum Erlangen is located at Martin-Luther-Platz 9 in 91054 Erlangen. The inner courtyard is part of a museum location in the heart of the old town, which has also established itself for cultural events. The main entrance of the museum is accessible at ground level; the bus stop Martin-Luther-Platz is located directly in front of the museum entrance. This is a clear advantage for visitors in terms of access and barrier-free accessibility.
