Welcome to the museum. We wish you a pleasant visit.
The house rules serve to make your visit to our museum as pleasant as possible and are obligatory for all guests.

The protection of persons and works of art in the building is our main concern:

5. Animals must not be taken into the museum. Guide dogs are an exception.
