  • Visitors must at all times keep at least 1 meter distance from other people. 
  • Hand sanitizer is available at several locations at the museum. Please use them when encountered.

  • Persons arriving in groups should maintain gathered throughout their visit. 
  • Visitors bringing small children are advised to use baby carriers if possible. 
  • We prefer the use of contactless payment in the museum store. 
  • We have reduced the number people that can visit the zoological and geological exhibitions simultaneously. This also applies for the museum store. 
  • We have removed several points of contact in the museum. 
  • The interactive parts of the The Climate House exhibitions are frequently cleaned.
