A museum’s main task is to care for artworks so they can be preserved for generations to come. To make sure of this, and to ensure that everyone has an enjoyable visit, we have a few simple rules.
Important things to remember throughout your visit:
- Please don’t touch the artworks, unless it is clearly indicated. Even the lightest tap can damage or soil them. Did you know that the natural oils on your fingertips can leave permanent marks on a bronze sculpture, even if you can’t see them right away?
- Keep a safe distance from the artworks, even when you’d like a closer look. Accidents happen easily: stumbling, sneezing, or even a sudden movement could cause damage.
- Walk calmly in the museum. It’s wonderful to be excited, but please don’t run. A fall could harm not only you but also fragile, irreplaceable artworks.
- Feel free to talk. Share your thoughts, discuss, and debate the art! Just remember to be considerate of other visitors so that everyone enjoys their time here. Emotions are welcome. If you feel like laughing, go ahead! And if you feel like crying, that’s perfectly fine too.
Our staff
Please follow the guidance of our staff – they’re here to support your visit. Friendly and approachable, they’re happy to answer your questions and know the museum inside out. You may also meet our conversation guides, who are there to talk with you about the art or other topics. Staff members are easy to spot in their lavender-colored jackets.
Code of conduct
The rules exist so that both artworks and visitors can enjoy the museum
Please touch the artworks only when it’s clearly indicated. The walls and display cases are also part of artwork safety, so keep a little distance from them.
Pets need to stay outside the museum, but guide and assistance dogs are always warmly welcome.
Strollers are welcome in the exhibition halls. Just remove large bags or bulky items before entering.
For the safety of the artworks, umbrellas should be left outside the exhibition halls.
Our staff are here to help you – please follow their guidance.
Please note that…
Big bags and other luggage
Only small bags and backpacks are allowed in the exhibition halls. The maximum size permitted inside is 30 × 20 × 50 cm.
Snacks & drinks
Food and drinks are not allowed in the exhibition halls. You are welcome to enjoy snacks in the museum lobby.
Photography is allowed in the exhibition, but without tripods or selfie sticks.
Planning a larger photo shoot? Get in touch with us first — a separate filming permit is required.
Slippery streets & studded shoes
Our exhibition halls have soft wooden floors, which can’t handle studded shoes. Please bring indoor shoes or borrow slippers from us.
