Before you come
Can I take photographs?
Yes, without flash, for personal use. A few loaned objects are marked with a no-camera sign.
Is there a cloakroom?
Free lockers by the entrance take bags up to cabin size. Large bags and pushchairs can be left at the front desk.
Is there a café?
The café on the ground floor is open during museum hours; you do not need a ticket to visit it.
How long should I allow?
About two hours for the exhibitions and the main galleries; families often split the visit with a break in the café.
