Large bags and backpacks are not allowed in the exhibition spaces for the safety of the artworks. Even when we try to be careful, a large bag can accidentally bump into something. By leaving backpacks and large bags in the free lockers, we can help prevent situations that might endanger the valuable objects in the exhibition.

Small bags must also be carried in front of you or in your hand.

You may carry a child in a baby carrier during exhibitions, but it must be worn on the front of your body, not on your back.

Eating and drinking are not allowed in the exhibition spaces to protect the artworks. Liquids, food substances, and even oils from fingertips can damage valuable objects.

Our old and valuable floors cannot withstand studded shoes, so please do not wear them indoors. Studded shoes must be removed immediately upon entering.

You may borrow slippers from the museum for the duration of your visit or bring a pair of indoor shoes with you. Studded shoes can be stored in the free lockers or at the unattended coat rack during your visit.

During winter we do our best to keep the museum courtyard sanded, but please be careful when moving outdoors.

Guide and assistance dogs are welcome in the exhibitions.
Other pets are allowed only in the museum café and must be kept on a leash.
