Barrier-Free Access (Accessible entrance for pushchairs and wheelchairs)

For the rollers: Are you going to come to the Museum with a stroller, rollator or wheelchair? There are wide ramps with 2.5 degree gradient and a lift for electric wheelchairs at the main entrance. Inside the building there are lifts between all floors.

Wheelchair accessible WCs and baby changing tables are located close to the main entrance (3.2 x 2.2 metres), the Restaurant (3.3 x 2.2 metres) and in MegaMind’s entrance hall (3.4 x 2.4 metres).

We have a limited number of pushchairs/strollers, baby carriers and wheelchairs that you can borrow. Talk to the staff at the Information Desk.

Interactive Activities (Virtual Content)

How do you come up with a good idea? In the MegaMind exhibition, you explore how it all works and how you can train your brain to become even more creative. Paint with your eyes, make virtual sculptures or create music using the power of thought – and other things you didn’t think were possible.

MegaMind has close to 50 stations for you to explore. At each of one of these, there are digital signs to tell you what is happening at the station. This information is available in English. Texts for the vision-impaired (larger text with sharper contrast and easy sound navigation) is also available.
