Giving your own group tours

Pets
No pets are allowed into the museum, except for guide dogs and assistance dogs.
Photography and filming
You are welcome to take pictures during your visit, provided you do not use a selfie stick, tripod, or flash. Find out more about photographing and filming.
Please be careful
Please be extra careful around the art in the museum, to help ensure future generations will still get to experience these treasures.
You can easily bump into the artworks on display, especially when the exhibition is crowded. For this reason, you are not allowed to bring bulky items like backpacks, large bags and umbrellas into the museum. To avoid spills, food and drinks are not allowed in either.
Why am I not allowed to touch the objects?
Even if you can’t see or feel it, your hands are always a little sticky, because salt and grease naturally form on our bodies. When we touch something, our fingers leave marks, which causes serious damage. For this reason, you are not allowed to touch the objects in the museum, not even gently.
No running
Space in our galleries is limited. We kindly ask visitors wanting to run off steam to slow down. Children may need a hand to hold.
