Welcome to the Fotomuseum, we are very happy to welcome you into our building again. The traffic situation around the museum has temporarily changed due to construction work, making us less accessible by car. More information can be found on this page.
GENERAL
What measures have Fotomuseum Den Haag and KM21 introduced in response to COVID-19 (coronavirus)?
Fotomuseum Den Haag and KM21 are keen to ensure that your visit is as safe and responsible as possible at this time of COVID-19 (coronavirus). We have therefore introduced a number of measures and made changes to the way you visit the museum, in compliance with the official guidance (RIVM) and the ‘Safe and responsible reopening of museums’ protocol drawn up by the Dutch Museums Association. This protocol, a set of special measures and a number of changes to the building will ensure that you can safely enjoy your visit, and that our staff, volunteers and suppliers can work safely at the museum.
What general hygiene measures have been introduced?
To guarantee your safety, we are complying with the hygiene rules applicable throughout the country:
- Wash your hands regularly
- Cough and sneeze into the crook of your elbow. Use paper tissues to blow your nose and throw them away immediately in a closed waste bin, then wash your hands.
- Do not shake hands.
- Stay home if you have cold symptoms (such as a blocked or runny nose, sore throat, slight cough or increased body temperature up to 38 degrees), fever and/or shortness of breath
What impact will the coronavirus measures have on my visit?
A number of specific conditions apply to museum visits:
- In order to regulate the crowds in the museum as best as possible, we will maintain working with time slots. A limited number of tickets are available at the box office. Book a time slot in advance to be sure of your visit to the museum. You can book a ticket here.
- Do not come to the museum if you are unwell. You can change your booking via servicedesk@ticketteam.nl.
- Follow the instructions of our staff.
What can I do to make my visit as safe and pleasant as possible?
At the moment, a museum visit will differ from what you are used to. Remain pleasant and considerate towards others at all times, and enjoy your visit!
I am not able to come to the museum at the moment. Can I still enjoy the collection?
Unfortunately, not everyone will be able to visit a museum at the moment. Luckily, however, KM21 and Fotomuseum Den Haag can now be visited online. On the Instagram and Facebook accounts of Fotomuseum Den Haag you will find a series of ‘Photo Stories’ (in Dutch only) about works in our collection. On www.kunstmuseum.nl you will find virtual tours and mini-exhibitions by our curators and their colleagues from Kunstmuseum Den Haag.
How long will the special rules apply at the museum?
That is impossible to say, unfortunately. Our rules are based on the national measures introduced in response to the coronavirus, and other measures specifically for the museum sector. We cannot therefore indicate at this stage when the measures will no longer apply to our museum.
I would really like to support the museum during this period. What can I do?
Fantastic that you want to support us! You can make an online donation, or by bank transfer to NL11 RABO 0362803331, account name Kunstmuseum Den Haag, quoting ‘donation’.
Structural support is also most welcome, of course. If you wish to support us on a more regular basis, you might consider becoming a Kunstmuseum Fund donor. You can find more information here.
