Good to know before the visit!
Groups are welcomed to the museum! To make the guided tour as successful as possible, we have limited the group size to a approximately 20 people. For larger groups, we recommend that the group is divided, and the ensuing tour is conducted in smaller detachments. The guidance fee depends on the number of people in the groups.
