Terms of use Museum Pass Berlin

1. Introduction

1 . The museum pass entitles you to enter the permanent exhibitions of all participating museums once a day. Special exhibitions are usually not included in the museum pass. If a museum does not have a permanent exhibition or if a museum has free admission to the permanent exhibition, the museum pass is valid for at least one special exhibition.  

2 . The museum pass is valid for three consecutive calendar days, the analogue museum pass from the entry of the first day of visit, the digital museum pass from the booked first day of visit. The museum pass is not transferable. The analogue museum pass has the name of the guest entered on it. Visitors with a museum pass must identify themselves at the entrance upon request.

3. The discounts of the participating museums apply. The discounted museum pass is only valid in connection with the corresponding documents. These must be carried when visiting the museums and must be presented on request. Please pay attention to the rules for free admission to the individual museums, as many houses offer free admission under the age of 18 (discount and free admission at Staatliche Museen zu Berlin (Berlin state museums) (smb.museum)).

2. Contract conclusion 

The contract for the purchase of a museum pass is only concluded between the user and the publisher, the Staatliche Museen zu Berlin – Preußischer Kulturbesitz (Prussian Cultural Heritage).

The temporary or permanent, partial or complete closure of individual participating museums does not constitute a right of withdrawal or claims for damages.

5. Liability
