Exhibits may not be touched. To avoid lesser or greater mishaps, you are asked to keep at a sufficient distance from them.

To ensure that all visitors are able to enjoy the exhibitions undisturbed, you are also requested to refrain from making mobile phone calls, or from receiving them. Also, we would kindly ask parents or guardians to keep their children as quit as possible for the greater enjoyment of all.

Note: parents, guardians and authorized supervisors are responsible for children or pupils in their care.

Persons who breach these regulations or do not comply with instructions of the staff can be denied permission to remain in the building. Their entrance ticket loses its validity therewith and the admission charge paid will not be reimbursed.
