Multi-sensory tour for the blind and partially sighted visitors
Every month there is a free interactive tour for blind and partially sighted visitors. Original artworks may be touched during this tour. If this is not possible, for instance when the work is too vulnerable, we can bring the artworks to life with touch replicas, smells, music, literature and taste. Every month there is a new tour through a different part of the museum.
Scheduled free guided tours
Participation with the guided tour is free by showing a valid entrance form, on which the regular entrance fees apply. Per person one mentor may also enter the museum for free. You can make your reservation for the next guided tours via the programme page or by calling 040-238104.

Art to touch: replicas that can be felt
Most works of art may not be touched, because they are too vulnerable or they have no relief at all. Visitors are able to look at a number of works with their hands during the Special Guests tours. There will be special replicas to feel and small reproductions of paintings and sculptures will be used during the Special Guests tours.
