Places. Destinies.
In addition to tours that offer a deeper understanding of the region and the museum’s collections, you can also visit short-term exhibitions in the former castle stables as well as concerts and lectures in the Stone Hall.
Educational programmes are prepared for schools on a regular basis involving modern technologies both in the exhibitions as well as in a multi-function hall and study.

Visitors can sit back and relax at the Museum Cafe and rest areas in the paradise garden and in the outer courtyard of the castle.
