Tue–Sun 10:00–18:00  Wed–Sun 11:00–17:00 

The museum is closed on public holidays. On June 13th one exhibition hall is closed for a few minutes. Officials from the Tax and Customs Board are examining the plaster casts with a portable X-ray machine. The exhibition hall will be closed for a few minutes to ensure safety.
