Children up to and including 4 years old can attend free of charge and without a ticket. Please note that the exhibition is not a playground. Due to sound and light effects, we recommend the Tutankhamun exhibition for children aged 6 and above.

FAQ

    • WHAT IS A TIME SLOT TICKET? WHY SHOULD I GET A TICKET IN ADVANCE?

      Each ticket is valid for a specific time slot during which you are admitted to the exhibition. You can stay in the exhibition itself for as long as you like. You decide which time slot your ticket is valid for when you book (online, by telephone or at your advance booking office).

    • ARE YOU ARRIVING EARLIER OR LATER THAN YOUR BOOKED TIME SLOT?

      If you arrive a little earlier or later than your booked time slot, there may be a wait at the entrance. However, tickets purchased will of course remain valid for the day booked. After admission, there is no time limit on your visit to the exhibition - within the opening hours.

    • What is virtual reality?

      VR refers to a digital, artificial world that can be experienced with the help of special software and hardware and enables an immersive experience.
