Visiting the museum with children – a practical guide
Visiting with babies and toddlers
Pushchairs are allowed in the museum, but back baby carriers are not. Back baby carriers should be handed in at the free cloakroom, or stored in a locker. Visitors can borrow a pushchair, free of charge – supplies are limited.
Find out more about borrowing and reserving pushchairs.
Breastfeeding and changing
If you want to breastfeed your baby or express milk in private, please go to the information desk, where staff will be happy to show you the way.
You will find a changing area near the toilets. Click here for the floorplan (pdf).
Food & Drink
The cafe offers a special menu for children, and there are several coffee corners throughout the museum. You are welcome to consume your own food and drink in the Atrium (daily) or the Picnic Room (weekends only).
