Admission to Museum Ulm and to the HfG-Archiv is free on the first Friday of the month
From 1 August 2024, admission to our exhibitions will be free all day on hot days: If the thermometer at the THU measuring station shows 25 degrees or more at 11 a.m., we will give you free admission. With this campaign, we would like to make a small contribution to making the increasingly hot summer months, as a noticeable consequence of climate change, a little more bearable.
Admission is free for all visitors under the age of 18 in the Museum Ulm, HfG-Archiv and Kunsthalle Weishaupt
