Current Information

In order to best protect you and our employees we have implemented extensive protection and hygiene regulations. In this way we can work together to stem the spread of the virus. Join the effort!

• A nose and mouth mask is required for all adults and children aged 6 and older entering the exhibition.
• Please remain at home if you are feeling ill.
• Please keep a distance of at least 1.5 meters between you and other people. If a waiting line develops in front of the entrance, please make sure that this minimum distance is maintained here as well.
• Please only visit the exhibitions on your own, in pairs or with members of your own household. 
• Group visits (10 people or more) are not allowed. Please also avoid the formation of groups.
• Cough or sneeze in the crook of your arm or into a handkerchief and keep your hands away from your face (eyes, nose, mouth).
• Avoid making contact with people (for example shaking hands, hugging).
• We sanitize our information boards, displays and other surfaces several times a day. Please be sure to regularly disinfect your hands at the disinfection stations found at the entrance and in the exhibition areas or wash your hands thoroughly (at least 20-30 seconds) with soap and water.
• The toilet facilities can only be visited by a single person or members of a household (small children and persons in need of help who are dependent on an escort are exempted).
• Please pay attention to our signs and floor markings displaying texts and images that explain and illustrate the required rules on social distancing and hygiene.

• For your protection, we have altered some passageways through the exhibitions. Please pay attention to the corresponding signs.
• Some hands-on stations and display elements that have to come close to the face (for example headphones, VR headsets) have been taken out of service for your protection.
• Tactile objects for blind and partially sighted persons in the exhibition "The Network" can unfortunately not be used.
• A few small, self-contained exhibition units and objects that cannot be viewed without violating the minimum distance requirement can either only be entered individually or will simply be closed for the time being. We have expanded our digital program as an offset.
• Unfortunately, group visits and group programs (guided tours, workshops, children's birthdays) are not possible until further notice. Individual guided tours are also currently unavailable.
• The museum’s "Tor 25" bistro remains closed for the time being. The museum’s "TorEins" café at the end of the Ladestraße is open Tuesday-Friday (from 11 am until 8 pm) and on weekends (from 12 am until 8 pm). The museum’s restaurant “Anhalt” in the main building, Trebbiner Strasse, is open Tuesday-Friday (from 10 am until 6:30 pm) and on weekends (from 10 am until 6 pm). 
• The cloakroom also remains closed. There are, however, a limited number of lockers available for your use (only at the Ladestrasse entrance).

For your own protection and the protection of your fellow human beings we ask that you observe the regulations.

We look forward to your visit!

We request that you comply with the hygiene regulations to protect your own health as well as that of others. The regulations are based on German Infection Protection Act guidelines / the SARS-CoV-2 Containment Measures Ordinance of Berlin. We are required to report violations to the authorities, which can lead to fines of up to 10,000 Euro.
