Map of the museum

Bags, storage, wardrobe
- You are allowed to bring smaller bags (max. 42x30x10 cm) into the exhibitions.
- You may not bring larger bags, backpacks and umbrellas; these must be placed in a locker. On the bottom floor, there are lockers where you can put your jacket, bag and backpack.
- Please note that there is no room for larger items, such as cabin luggage or suitcases and large umbrellas.
- The lockers are 40 cm deep and 38 cm wide. Most of the lockers are 36.5 cm high, with a small number that are 47 cm in height.
Wheelchairs and wheeled walking frames
We will be happy to lend you a wheeled walking frame or wheelchair to make your visit easier. Please ask one of our staff on the ground floor.
Prams and pushchairs
You can walk around the museum with a pram or pushchair. If you do not want to bring it into the exhibitions, there is a space to park it outside the children’s exhibition at the entrance level. There is a museum host to give you instructions on where to park. Please note that this space is primarily intended for those visiting the children’s exhibition. If you want to visit the children’s exhibition with small children, there are pushchairs and baby carriers that you can borrow upon presentation of ID. We ask that you do not bring prams and pushchairs that have been used outside into the exhibitions, as they bring in dirt. For safety reasons belongings must not be stored around or in prams parked outside the children’s exhibition. Unattended prams or pushchairs may be taken care of by the staff.

- There are plenty of toilets on the bottom floor.
- There are handicap toilets on every floor.
- On the top floor: inside the temporary exhibition.
- On the middle floor: from the lift, turn right into The Timeline. The toilet is found just after the purple room.
