Tuesday to Sunday 10:00–18:00, Saturday until 21:00, closed Monday except national-holiday openings, with last admission 30 minutes before closing. Photography is allowed unless a work is marked otherwise.

A capsule-toy machine stands in the foreground of the gallery, where visitors can obtain small objects from it.
