The museum is closed

Since the beginning of November, the museum is no longer open to visitors until further notice! Take a look around our online offers for so long.

We have redesigned our website for you to make it more accessible and flexible. We have decided to release a so-called “beta version”, which we continuously improve for you. So don’t hesitate to point out bugs to us!

Also stay in touch with us on our online channels, on Facebook and on Instagram. We regularly publish insights into our work and online short tours for you.
