Once a month, Museum Hof van Busleyden quietens down. There are no noisy groups and no staff members approaching you. Just you, the works of art and the creaking floors of the city palace.
Are you sensitive to sensory stimulation, or do you need an environment without noise and crowds? Then the Quiet Visit is the perfect thing for you.
Practical Information
- Admission price: standard museum admission prices apply during the Quiet Visit (Museum Pass holders receive free admission)
- The Quiet visit begins at 10 am and ends at 1 pm. After that, the museum's usual visitor arrangements resume and we can no longer guarantee a quiet environment.
- Every first Saturday of the month

What can you expect?
- We limit the number of visitors in the museum. This helps keep the galleries quiet.
- Where possible, loud video and audio fragments are turned down. You will still hear the natural sounds of the building, such as its creaking floors.
- The audio guide can be used with noise-reducing headphones. These are available to borrow free of charge at the beginning of your visit.
