Closures & important conditions
The general guide lists June 26–30 and December 26–30 closures. The dated 2026 exhibition notice instead lists December 26–31; confirm directly before planning a December 31 visit.
- Official pages disagree on the final year-end closure date. December 31 opening is not asserted.
