Ever wanted to spend the night with an Impressionist? Tate Modern’s hugely successful exhibition, Henri Matisse: The Cut Outs will stay open all night during its final weekend, according to Art Daily. Art lovers will be able to purchase tickets to see the seminal show on a timed entry schedule from 10 am on Saturday September 6 until 10 pm on Sunday September 7.

Henri Matisse: The Cutouts, is the artist’s most extensive exhibition dedicated entirely to paper cutouts and collage made by Matisse between 1937 and 1954 (“Matisse Cut-Outs at Tate Modern Rewrite Art History“). Many of the 130 works on display have never been seen together and form a comprehensive selection of the master’s innovative late works.

The late-night viewing will be accompanied by a continuous screening of Moumen Smihi’s Film With Matisse in Tangiers (1993). The documentary recalls the time Matisse spent in the Moroccan city, which had a profound impact on his life and work. Talks about the exhibition will also take place in the gallery at 11 pm and at 1 am.

Visitors will be able to watch the sun rise over the Thames in the museum’s restaurant, which will serve a special Matisse-inspired menu from 11 pm to 5 am and breakfast from 5 am to 11 am. A specially curated drink menu will also be served in the Turbine Hall.
