MTRNM brought its Night at the Museum from Los Angeles to the Natural History Museum, with Marten Lou headlining beneath the blue whale skeleton in Hintze Hall.
Marten Lou, the house DJ, headlined MTRNM’s first London Night at the Museum, in Hintze Hall at the Natural History Museum in South Kensington, on Saturday 9 May 2026.
Marten Lou is a German DJ whose sets blend melodic, deep and afro house, and his tour now runs from London and Paris to Marrakech, Miami and Toronto. MTRNM started Night at the Museum in Los Angeles and brought the concept to London for this night.
Hintze Hall is the museum’s Grade I listed Victorian hall, with a blue whale skeleton hanging from its roof. Up to 1,200 guests danced beneath it, and the night sold out.
The production put a concert sound system, a moving-head lighting rig and lasers into the hall without fixing anything to the building. The arches and the grand staircase were lit from the floor.
OSCAAR and Rahbani played alongside Marten Lou. The crew loaded in, ran the show and took the rig down inside the museum’s access windows.
