Art changes its language
Compare two works from different decades in terms of material, scale and approach to representation. Use the wall text for context, but start with what is actually visible.
Design has a user
Chairs, posters and industrial designs were made for a purpose. Look at ergonomics, production and audience, and distinguish a prototype from a mass-produced product.
Exhibition alongside collection
A temporary blockbuster can dictate crowds and route, while the collection presentation fills other rooms. Allow time for both and check which parts are closed during changeovers.
Before you go
Daily 10.00–18.00, all public holidays included; last admission at 17.45. Check how busy the current exhibitions are.
