Come to the museum only in good health – art will wait for you
You are welcome to visit the Ateneum if you are feeling well. If you are ill, stay home until you feel better, and contact a health-care professional, if necessary.
We require the use of a face mask or visor
- Visitors over 12 years old are required to wear a face mask. You can buy an individually packaged, disposable face mask for €1 upon arrival at the museum.
- If the visitor can’t wear a mask due to health reasons, we will offer a visor. After each use the visor will be sanitised and it will be put to rest at least for 24 hours before the next use.
- Our members of staff wear a face mask or visor.
