🛠️ Extended closure of the Antiquities wing

The Antiquities galleries are closed for renovation. No specific reopening date has been set at this time. In the meantime, the museum teams are working on a temporary alternative with the aim of displaying part of these collections to the public again by 2028, in another area of the museum.

Reservations for the Antiquities collections are currently not possible. As soon as more information becomes available regarding further developments and visiting opportunities, we will keep you informed.

Thank you for your understanding.

📚 Closure of the libraries
