Frequent Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

We would like to you have an exciting, inspiring time at the Kunsthalle. However, we do need to protect the works of art on display. Here, are answers to some of the questions we are often asked.

Why can’t I take my bag and jacket into the exhibition galleries?

May I take pictures in the Kunsthalle?

Why is the light in some exhibitions so low?

Light is very harmful to works on paper since they can turn yellow when subjected to UV rays and the colours can fade. Think about what happens if you leave a newspaper in the sun for just one day! Therefore, we regulate the lighting to ensure that the works of art will remain in excellent condition for future generations.

In general, taking photographs for private use is allowed at the Kunsthalle. However, please be aware that flash, tripods, and selfie sticks for smartphones are not permitted.Photos may only be taken for private use and are not allowed for commercial purposes. Please keep a safe distance to the artwork! Forwarding or selling photographs taken of worksunder copyright protection (= the artist is still alive or the maker has not been dead for 70 years) or uploading these photos to the Internet is a copyright violation and is subject to legal prosecution by the artist or the holder of rights. This can result in serious costs.
