The booking process
Official guidance specifies an advance reservation and a designated time slot.
- 01
Create or access a reservation using the museum's official instructions.
- 02
Select an available day and admission time slot; save the confirmation.
- 03
Carry the original matching identification and arrive within the assigned entry window.
What to double-check
A missed time slot or an ID mismatch can prevent entry. Don't confuse this museum's system with Palace Museum tickets.
Bring the original ID used to reserve and the confirmation message, following the museum's current guidance.
Official instructions say reservations open up to seven days ahead, with new slots released at 17:00.
