5-1 pm GASTRONOMY
STORIES OF DEPARTURE AND NEW BEGINNINGS. With HALBVOLL, Tobias and Daniel Heiler bring their passion for wine, encounters and atmosphere to the Museum for Sepulchral Culture. Their wine bar in Friedrich-Ebert-Straße has quickly become a favourite spot in Kassel – a place where good wine meets honest conversation, delicious snacks and surprising moments.

For the Museum Night, they transform the museum into a temporary bar – stylish, lively and with selected wines that tell stories: of farewells and new beginnings, of pausing and savouring. In keeping with the theme of the night, they will be serving wines from their Swabian homeland, non-alcoholic drinks and fantastic bubblies and exciting spritzes – sparkling, wild and lively like life itself. The drinks are accompanied by exciting treats. Anyone who knows HALBVOLL knows that they don't just serve drinks here. They serve with soul.
