Wellbeing rules

In confidence

We enable our guests to have direct encounters with top works largely without barriers, trusting that they will behave in an understanding, appropriate manner.

Why large backpacks and bags or food are not allowed in the exhibitions? With our feel-good rules, we want to give you the best possible museum experience.
