Why make time for it
Use the later hours to make one exhibition the start of an evening. Arrive with time to look rather than treating free entry as a reason to rush through every room.
The museum publishes free admission on the first Thursday of every month from 16:00 to 20:00 through Volkswagen Group Art4All. This selection lists 1 October, 5 November and 3 December 2026, derived from that standing schedule. It does not mark ordinary daytime visits as free. Check the official page for capacity and programme changes before travelling.

Glenn Ligon: Double America
Glenn Ligon’s Double America uses illuminated language and reflection to complicate a familiar national name. It is a focused encounter with the visual and political weight of a word.
A little further discovery.
