*This offer is brought to you with the financial support of our primary sponsor Sartorius AG during the Kunsthaus’ first five years of operation.

in order to save energy due to the current situation, we will not leave the doors to the exhibition rooms permanently open. However, the rooms are of course open and you can visit the exhibition as normal. The attic is currently only open in the context of educational offers and events.

We ask for your understanding with regard to all the measures presented, but due to the political and economic circumstances we see ourselves obliged to save energy.
