Tips For a Memorable Group Visit
Arrive 15 minutes early
This gives everyone enough time to use the toilets before the tour begins. Your guide will meet you at reception.
Use the cloakroom
Backpacks, bags, suitcases and umbrellas may not be taken into the museum galleries. You can leave them in our lockers or cloakroom free of charge.
Lunch or Break? You're very welcome in the coffee-bar!
Food and drink are not permitted in the museum galleries, but your party is welcome in the coffee-bar. Groups can reserve a separate room, with a choice of buffet options.
Combine Your Visit with a Restaurant
Would your group like to eat together in Mechelen? These restaurants are suitable for groups.
