Hygienic measures
For your safety
We are happy you have chosen to visit us today. Your safety and that of our staff is our top priority. Consequently, we would like to give you an overview of our offerings, our protective measures and the valid rules of conduct.
Please postpone your visit if you are feeling ill. Individuals who are in or have had contact to a person infected with the coronavirus, if said contact occurred within the previous 14 days, or who have typical symptoms of a coronavirus infection, namely loss of the sense of smell or taste, fever, coughing or a sore throat may not enter experimenta / MS experimenta.
Please comply with the signing and markings throughout the building.
Annual pass holders usually have free admission to experimenta. However, you must register in advance in the online ticket shop and bring a printout as confirmation of your reservation and your annual pass. Confirmation is only valid for the stated window of time.
Due to the current situation, we are not yet able to foresee when we will be able to start again with which offer on site. This also affects you as an annual pass holder. We are therefore extending the validity of your experimenta annual pass for the period of the current closure since 2 November. Of course, this applies to all annual passes, including those whose validity date would expire during the current closure period.
We have raised the number of visitors allowed to 600 per day.
The number of persons, however, is limited to 300 in the morning and 300 in the afternoon.
You will have sufficient opportunity to wash your hands in the museum's washrooms. You will also find hand sanitizer dispensers on every level before every entrance to exhibition areas and at other points.
As part of the experimenta hygiene concept, all escalators in the building have been upgraded: the handrails are now irradiated with germicidal UV-C light using a special technology. This light damages DNA and RNA, the genetic materials of bacteria and viruses, neutralizing them. The handrail on its continuous loop passes automatically through the UV-C module and is thus constantly disinfected in a way that is both environmentally friendly and does not use chemicals. The handrails are thus 99.9% free of bacteria and viruses.
- Visitors must register on the Maker Space website prior to their visit: https://makerspace.experimenta.science/anmeldung/.
