Last night was Frankfurt's Night of the Museums. The atmosphere on the streets along the Main River is particularly dynamic during the annual event--young and old walking along, taking advantage of the 12€ ticket with which one can visit around 50 museums in Frankfurt until 1 or 2 a.m. and ride the shuttle buses for free. Last year I took advantage of the ticket to go into the Jewish museum for the first time, meet a friend at the Städl art museum, then show him the models of pre-war Frankfurt in the Historical Museum. It was fun to be able to pick and choose from the museum buffet.This time I went with my 15-year-old son, but we didn't have time to go into any museums, just enough time to enjoy the stimulating atmosphere. We walked from the Hauptwache past the lines of people in front of the Goethe House and across the Römer, where a concert stage and additional museum ticket booths had been set up. After crossing the footbridge to Sachsenhausen, we were in good company all along the Main footpath (see photo at top) to the Städl art museum.
On our train ride home, it was fun to see so many people waiting at the S-Bahn stops to go into Frankfurt for the mass cultural event.
