Quiet Hour in the Karl-Marx-House

The museum is generally considered to be a rather quiet space. However, even here an installation may light up brightly, a film may be playing loudly or the lighting in the exhibition may be too bright. For people with sensory sensitivities who already experience such situations as a flood of stimuli, we are now offering a ‘Quiet Hour’ in the Karl-Marx-House on the first Tuesday of every month from 4 pm, starting in 2024.

During the ‘Quiet Hour’, the environment is adapted to create an atmosphere that is as low stimulus as possible and allows for a relaxed visit. For example, lighting effects and noise sources will be minimised, and warning signs will be posted at noisy stations.

There are no guided tours during this time. We also ask our visitors to refrain from making phone calls and shouting loudly. As not all installations will be available during this time, admission during the ‘Quiet Hour’ will be €4 per person.
