You can use our lockers and cloakroom near the entrance free of charge for small bags, backpacks, and coats. There is no separate cloakroom. Large luggage is not permitted.
Our monumental building has no elevator, so the museum is not wheelchair accessible. Strollers, walkers, and wheelchairs cannot be used inside, but you may leave them safely at the entrance.
The building has stairs throughout, but benches are available for visitors to rest. While we are limited by the historic structure, we strive to make the visit as comfortable as possible for all visitors.
