Entry by time slot
Entry is limited and happens only at the start of each hour. There are ten slots a day: nine of two hours, starting at 9:00, 10:00 and so on up to 17:00, and a shorter one at 17:45 that lasts 1 hour 15 minutes. The visit is at most two hours and you must leave when it ends.
The official site says a queue forms as each hour approaches, with generally short waits. It gives no tolerance rule for late arrivals, so be there before your slot starts. The ticket office opens at 8:30 and closes one hour before the museum does.
Mondays and holidays
The museum is closed on Monday, on 25 December and on 1 January. It announces occasional extraordinary openings on its own site. For 24 and 31 December the official site gives no special hours, so check it before you plan those days.
Free days
Entry is free on the first Sunday of the month, on 25 April, 2 June and 4 November, apart from the compulsory 2 € booking fee. Tickets for these days are released 10 days before, and last-minute tickets are not sold. The official list is introduced by "for example", so other days are possible, and we add them to this page as soon as they are announced.
Counting from the calendar, the next free days are Sunday 1 November, Wednesday 4 November and Sunday 6 December 2026, and Sunday 3 January 2027. These dates are our own calculation, not written by the museum.
If the slots are sold out
The ticket office sells last-minute tickets, but the museum says same-day entry is not assured. They are sold only from minute 20 of each hour, for a visit of 1 hour 30 minutes. The last one is sold at 17:50 and lasts 1 hour. You can buy only 2 per person, and the wait can be long.
