Rules for visitors - Deutsches Currywurst Museum Berlin
Rules for visitors
The visitor agrees to observe the Rules for Visitors (displayed prominently in the foyer) upon entry to the Museum building. In the event of failure to observe the rules or to follow the instructions of museum staff or in the event of behaviour endangering the safety of the Museum or its visitors the Museum reserves the right to ask the persons in question to leave the Museum and to refuse them re-entry. Museum staff are authorised by the Museum management to enforce house rules and to issue instructions as required.
Ticket prices, Concessions, Adults Responsibility
The prices for admission are those displayed at the cash desk. There may be an extra admission charge for special exhibitions. Concessions for schoolchildren, students, the disabled (at least 50% disability) and senior citizens over the age of 65 can only be granted if proof of status is shown. Admission is free for children who have not yet reached their sixth birthday (proof required). Children who have not yet reached their twelfth birthday may only visit the Museum if accompanied by an adult. In this case adults are responsible for the children in their charge.
Opening hours
The Museum is normally open daily between 10:00 and 22:00. Opening hours may vary when the Museum stages special events. The Museum reserves the right to change the opening hours at any time.
Tickets bought in advance
Tickets allow one admission to the Museum during normal opening hours and lose their validity when visitors leave the exhibition area. Tickets bought in advance do not entitle the visitor to visit the Museum at other times (for example, during special events) or when the maximum permitted number of visitors has been exceeded.
Cloakroom, taking personal belongings and animals into the Museum
Lockers and a cloakroom are available in which to leave jackets, coats and bags. A deposit must be paid for the use of lockers. Umbrellas must be left in the stands provided in the cloakroom area. Visitors will be required to pay a fee of 3 euros for lost cloakroom tokens and 20 euros for lost locker keys. For safety reasons sports equipment and large play items must not be taken into the exhibition area; the same applies to inline skates. In cases of doubt Museum staff may decide whether jackets, coats, bags and other items may be taken into the Museum. Animals are not permitted in the Museum.
Conduct in the exhibition area
Eating, drinking, smoking and using mobile phones are not permitted in the exhibition area. Unless expressly indicated otherwise, visitors are not permitted to touch, enter or sit on exhibition objects, exhibits or installations. Theft and wilful or wanton damage to exhi-bition objects, exhibits and installations will result in criminal prosecution. Visitors may not enter cordoned-off areas of the exhibition. For safety reasons passageways and exit routes must be kept clear at all times. Parents or other adults accompanying minors are re-sponsible for minors in their charge throughout their visit.
Photographs and films/Video surveillance
Taking photographs or filming (no tripods) is permitted expressly and exclusively for private purposes. Any photography or filming and/or tape taking for commercial purposes requires the prior approval of the Museum management and is subject to charge. Video surveillance is due full time during opening hours and operation of the Museum.
Guided tours
Guided tours may be conducted only by guides provided by the Museum. Guided tours are subject to charge and must be booked in advance. They are only permitted during the stated times or if special times are arranged.
Liability
Visitors to the Museum visit it at their own risk. They are required to exercise special care and attention when entering the site and building. Visitors to the Museum are liable for any costs or damage incurred through their conduct as required by law. The Museum accepts no responsibility for items left in the cloakroom or deposited in the lockers. It accepts no responsibility for damage suffered by visitors during their visit to the Museum or for damage incurred while using facilities, exhibition objects, exhibits or installations unless this damage is incurred through wrongful intent or gross negligence on the part of the Museum or its agents. Any further liability is expressly excluded unless required by law.
