Dogs are only allowed in the museum for blind and visually impaired visitors. Lockers for bags and jackets are available on the ground floor. We also offer a cloakroom at weekends during the winter months. For fire safety reasons, strollers are not allowed in the KIBALA. You will find a parking space for strollers on the 2nd floor or in the cloakroom area on the ground floor. Many areas of the museum are difficult to access with strollers. We therefore recommend that you leave them in the cloakroom. Please also note that handcarts may not be taken into the exhibitions.
Due to staff shortages the operation of the model railroad
can currently only be presented very irregularly.
