Why does the WeltenMuseum close on Mondays?
The museum is closed to visitors on Mondays, but there is a lot of activity behind the scenes. Work in our showrooms, for example, cannot be completed during regular opening hours.
On Mondays, the worlds are brought into shape: exhibits are dismantled and reassembled, minor and major repairs are carried out, the technology is maintained, etc. - On Tuesday everything is "polished to a high shine" and ready for our visitors.
Is it allowed to take photos in the exhibitions?
Taking photos without a flash or tripod is generally permitted in the collections of the WeltenMuseum. The flash light would cause too much damage to the objects on display. In addition, flashlights and tripods would disturb other museum visitors.
Whether photography is permitted in the rooms of the special exhibitions varies and depends on the special exhibition currently being shown. The special exhibitions often also include exhibits from different lenders. The lenders also own the image rights for the exhibits, which is why we may not allow our visitors to take photos of these objects. Interested visitors can find out whether photography is permitted in the current special exhibition via the information desk or at the checkout.
Is there an audio guide?
Our »MediaGuide« takes you through our collections and special exhibitions. You can easily use the »MediaGuide« on your own smartphone (don't forget your headphones!) or on a free loaner device from our museum shop. (Only while stocks last.)
The Hanover State Museum is barrier-free for visitors with limited mobility. A ramp in front of the main entrance ensures access to the building and the collections and special exhibitions are fully accessible via an elevator. Of course, there are also toilets for people with physical limitations on the ground floor.
For people on the autism spectrum, the following materials provide information about the process and the light, climate and sound situations in the exhibitions:
Is there a changing table?
But of course. On the ground floor between the entrance to the courtyard and the museum café Schönwald's is a sanitary room furnished, in which a changing table with changing rack is available.
Where can I store jackets and backpacks?
Large bags and backpacks are not permitted in the exhibition rooms. Jackets, bags and backpacks can be locked and safely stored in the lockers on the ground floor. All you need is a €1 coin as a deposit for the key.
The associations and circles of friends materially and ideally support the work of the individual departments. In addition, most clubs offer their own program of events for their members, such as guided tours, lectures and excursions. Non-members are also cordially invited to many of these events.
Further information - also about memberships - can be obtained directly from the associations and circles of friends.
Unfortunately, bringing dogs into the museum is not permitted. The only exceptions to this are assistance dogs for people with disabilities and chronic illnesses.
