Tips & Advice

- Bring your smartphone or camera on Santa's day to photograph your children with him in front of the fireplace and red throne.
- Visit on the Marzipanmarkt weekend for free admission and tastings of marzipan, chocolates and pastries, on top of the marzipan special exhibition.
- Show your MuseumsCard at the door, since cardholders get free admission to the museum and its special exhibition.
- On Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve the museum closes in the early afternoon, so go in the morning if you're visiting on those days.
