The safety of our readers and museum visitors has top priority. Hand disinfectants are therefore available at all locations (museums and reading rooms). Due to official requirements, mouth and nose masks are mandatory in all public areas; at the seat in a reading room it is recommended. There is no mask requirement for children up to 6 years. We ask all of our readers and museum visitors to bring their own mouth and nose mask and to always keep a minimum distance of one meter on site (exception: people who live in the same household).
