Exhibitions
We plan to open the doors to the new exhibition rooms and the newly-designed permanent exhibition  in the spring of 2012. However, as of May 2011, small presentations in the vault will offer a preliminary introduction to the museum collection.

Events
While the exhibition is closed, the Museum has organised a reduced programme of events, tours etc. which can be booked for school classes, students and interested groups of visitors. In the spring of 2011, the new gallery in the museum extension will be opening its doors to visitors for special events and happenings.
