Plan your visit

The Bruegel exhibition runs from October 2, 2018 until January 13, 2019. The artworks on show in this special exhibition are so precious and fragile that we have to limit the number of visitors in the galleries at any one time.

Timeslots allow you to plan your visit in advance; these timeslots apply only to the special exhibition, not to your visit to the permanent galleries.

FAQ on Bruegel

For the special exhibition from 2 October 2018 to 13 January 2019 the Museum’s own collection is to be complemented by many significant international loans. Many of these works are so sensitive they have never been loaned before. Around ninety works by Pieter Bruegel the Elder are to go on show for the first time as part of this once-in-a-lifetime exhibition. To make your own experience at the Museum as pleasant as possible, the number of visitors to the exhibition is to be regulated, and you need to purchase a timeslot ticket.
