Museum etiquette

Security

Museum attendants are responsible for the safety and the security  of  artworks and visitors. Their indications and prescriptions must therefore be carefully followed. In the event of inadequate behaviour, the staff will have the right to remove from the museum whoever is responsible for such behaviour, while the Management  reserves the right to undertake appropriate initiatives and measures.

In the event of an alarm, visitors are required to strictly follow the instructions of the museum operators. If the evacuation of the building is ordered, it is necessary to proceed in a disciplined and orderly manner, respecting the directives of the staff. In the event of a large turn-out and in any situation that could compromise the safety of people or property, access can be temporarily prohibited or any necessary measures, imposed by circumstances, can be adopted to ensure the safety of people or things.
