Dear visitors,

Due to the continuing very high number of infections, the ZKM, in coordination with other museums in Baden-Württemberg, continues to require visitors to wear a mask (OP or FFP2 mask).

This measure serves to protect you as well as the ZKM staff.

We thank you for your understanding!
