 Safe ventilation technology at the Akademie der Künste

The ventilation systems in the public areas of the Akademie der Künste have been optimised. Our facilities are now equipped with high-performance ventilation and air-conditioning systems that operate with 100% fresh air supply, fine particle filters for germs and bacteria and UV air disinfection technology. Depending on the room, an air exchange frequency of three to eight times an hour is guaranteed. Air quality is monitored consistently and filters are changed regularly.

When visiting an exhibition:

We kindly ask you to wear a mask.

Small bags (no larger than A4) are permitted in the exhibition halls.


When attending an event:

We kindly ask you to wear a mask.

Because our coat check services are only available to a limited capacity and are unsupervised, we ask that you refrain from bringing large bags with you.

We recommend purchasing online tickets in advance: www.adk.de/tickets. Seating is limited in the rooms and spaces used for special events.
