Twenty doesn't sound daunting, but the list of events is much longer. They all take place between 19.00 and 1.00, and the website has a very clever tool to help you get through the night. Just click on the events you'd like to go to, and then print your personalised plan. And there's no need to figure out how to get from museum A to museum B or struggle with parking: shuttle busses ride you around all evening.

What to expect? Anything but a dull visit to a museum. Budding DJs will demonstrate their skills at the Hallepoort, a guided tour through downtown's Musical Instruments Museum takes you through 8,000 instruments.

At Wiels in Vorst, be one of the first visitors to Flemish artist David Claerbout's new exhibition, showing an overview of his work, including video and photography.

Perhaps you're more into hands on. To make and decorate masks, head to the Art & Marges museum in the Marollen. The Royal Army Museum in Jubelpark stages a fashion show where models will wear uniforms of all sorts. Visit the Museum of Fantastic Art in Sint-Gillis and witness a freak show while drinking at the zombie bar, or "relax" with some ballroom dancing at the Museum of the National Bank back in the centre.

But make sure you save some energy. From 23.00, DJs will be warming up the dance floor at Bozar. Around midnight, the Liverpool electro foursome Ladytron takes over the decks, relinquishing it eventually to the winner of the Museum Night Fever DJ contest, who's scheduled until 3.00, but who knows?

In Bozar's Horta Hall, meanwhile, Muriel Scherre, the Ghent designer behind lingerie brand La Fille d'O, will be responsible for the music all night long. If her beats are as sexy as her products, you should be in for a good time. She are assisted by Part Time Punks who swear by the motto "Think rave, pop, filth and dirty dancing. Think sweat. Think crap. Think lollipop. And now just shut up and dance!"

Prices for Museum Night are good - and all-in ticket is €19 and partial tickets less; you can get them at FNAC, participating museums or online at www.bozar.be.
