For visitors
We’re open Tuesday to Sunday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Last entry to the exhibitions is at 5:15 PM. The ticket desks and museum shop close at 5:45 PM.
Admission to the permanent exhibitions is free on Tuesdays. On free-admission days, you still need to pick up an entry pass at the ticket desks.
The museum has free self-service lockers for coats and bags. Please collect a locker key at the ticket desks before entering the exhibition and return it before leaving the museum.
Due to high temperatures during the summer season, please come prepared for your visit — bring water and wear light, breathable clothing. We encourage you to stay hydrated and pace your visit according to how you feel. The museum is housed in a historic building without air conditioning. Thank you for your understanding, and we wish you a pleasant visit to the NMT.
