Wheelchair accessible toilets are located in the basement.

One accompanying person receives free admission.

Special guided tours can also be booked for blind, visually and hearing impaired or otherwise impaired visitors.

Cafeteria

To round off your visit to the museum, we invite you to relax in the covered courtyard or on the terrace overlooking Kassel. Enjoy the unique atmosphere. On a self-service basis, you will receive hot and cold drinks and small snacks.

Admission to the cafeteria is free of charge and not bound to a visit to the museum. Even if you do not have time to visit the exhibition, you are always welcome!

Gift Shop

You are also welcome to visit the museum shop during the museum's opening hours independently of a visit to the exhibition rooms. A wide range of goods awaits you here.

In addition to in-house publications and catalogues, specialist literature and children's books, you will find other attractive products. A theme-specific assortment of postcards and posters, selected design objects as well as artistically designed gifts and editions are permanently available. So there is something for all museum visitors, laymen and experts, young and old. You can also find our funeral cards here or via the publication shop.

Contact

The visitor service supervises the reception and various events, but also conducts guided tours of the permanent and special exhibitions. The children's birthdays are also supervised and organised by our trained supervisory team. If you have any questions about opening hours, events and bookings, you can contact  the Museum Gate during the opening hours.
