The objective of a museum is to ensure that everyone can see and experience artworks and other museum items in a way that preserves them for future generations as well. That’s why you should abide by some common rules during a visit. The rules are also meant to ensure a pleasant and safe visit for all visitors.

• Leave outdoor clothes and big backpacks or bags in the lockers or near the info desk.
• Do not bring food or drinks into the exhibit spaces.
• Do not touch the artworks. They are valuable and can be easily damaged and worn by touch.
• Move calmly and carefully.
• Consider other visitors.
• You can watch, listen, ask and discuss what you see.
• You can take pictures of the artworks and the building without a flash, but some exhibits may have exceptions, which will be notified separately.
