🎟️Buy tickets online in advance to avoid long queues at the counter, as recommended by recent visitors.
🪙Bring a €1 coin for the lockers to store large bags, which are not allowed in the exhibition areas.
⏱️Plan for several hours, as reviewers note the massive museum requires at least four to six hours to explore fully.

Polished brass ducks circle inside interlocking spirals and belts transmit motion across Felix Scharstein’s kinetic sculptures. Set amid the permanent collection's industrial turbines, this special exhibition presents a dozen moving mechanical artworks built for play rather than work.
