Planning your visit
From 17 to 20 September, you will receive reduced admission to our museum (€3.50). Renovation work is taking place, which is why around 20% of the museum cannot be seen in the new building area. You can get your ticket as usual at the ticket office and then enter the museum via our garden in Cäcilienkloster street.
