Accessibility
Barrier-free museum
Access to the museum and our exhibitions is largely barrier-free. Alongside the entrance, which is flush with street level, there are parking spaces and lifts for the disabled and also various items you can borrow to help you round, such as gloves to feel specific objects. We want your visit to be as smooth and enjoyable as possible. Simply contact our Visitor Services or the Information Desk. We’ll gladly help you prepare your visit.
The museum exhibitions and the various public spaces are predominantly wheelchair accessible. Lifts in the lobby and stairwell access the museum café and the basement level (toilets, Roman Cellar). An express lift takes you to the upper floor and the entrance to the permanent exhibition. There are individual seats in the exhibitions.
Kids and Families
For adults and kids
You can take the entire family along to visit the museum and our exhibitions. We offer activities for children of different age groups, supervised and unsupervised. And of course you can take your buggy or child carrier into the exhibition. Lifts take you to the right level and there’s a baby changing table in the Women’s WC on the 1st floor.
