Reservations

The "Baby Wood Education Plaza" requires a time slot set when booking. There is a limit on same-day admission tickets, and advance tickets (online) are available

Going with young children

There is the "Baby Wood Education Plaza", which only children aged 0–2 and their parents can enter (siblings aged 3 and over cannot enter; time is set when booking; 1-hour sessions). Because the building has many narrow passages, the museum asks visitors not to bring strollers inside; fold them and leave them in the stroller parking at the building entrance. Diaper changing is in the "accessible toilet" next to the entrance or the "diaper changing corner" before the Baby Wood Education Plaza. The nursing space is inside the Baby Wood Education Plaza (nursing capes can also be borrowed). One baby keeper each in the men's and women's toilets. No eating or drinking inside (only water or tea on the benches in the corridor). Free lockers at the entrance
