Our exhibition is particularly busy in the mornings due to group tours (school classes and nursery groups).
Groups visiting us without a guided tour booked through Museumsdienst Hamburg are also very welcome.
However, to help us manage visitor numbers, we ask that groups of seven or more register with us free of charge at least three days in advance by telephone or email (please wait for confirmation):
