We are closed for rental of premises in weeks 28-30, on public holidays an additional fee must be expected.

The rental price includes the rig, white damask tablecloths, white damask napkins, tea lights or chandeliers and access to technical equipment such as a sound system and projector in the venue. The venue will be cleaned by the museum after the event.

Decorations and equipment

It is not permitted to attach decorations to walls or ceilings, move museum objects or use confetti cannons. The tenant is responsible for any damage to buildings or interiors, and the amount of compensation will be assessed based on the extent of the damage. All decorations brought in must be packed up at the end of the evening. This can be stored and picked up by arrangement. It is also possible to deliver decorations in advance so that they are stored at the museum before the event date.
