The museum is located in Leipzig's city center (in the inner city ring road). The S-Bahn station Markt with stops for all regional S-Bahn lines is in the immediate vicinity, and the Main Station is only a few minutes' walk away. Most Leipzig streetcar lines stop at the surrounding stops Goerdelerring, Main Station and Augustusplatz.

We recommend traveling by public transport, but if necessary you can park in the following parking garages near the museum:

Parking garage Höfe am Brühl: Am Hallischen Tor 2, 04109 Leipzig
Augustusplatz parking garage: Augustusplatz 15, 04109 Leipzig
Parking garage Marktgalerie: Thomaskirchhof 18, 04109 Leipzig

There are two free disabled parking spaces in front of the main entrance to the museum in Katharinenstraße for holders of a corresponding permit.

Please note: Leipzig is a declared environmental zone - driving here is only permitted with a green sticker.

For coaches: Parking for coaches is not permitted within the inner city ring road. There are bus parking spaces at the east side of the main station (access via Brandenburger Straße). We recommend the bus stops in Goethestraße for passengers getting on and off. If absolutely necessary, buses can also stop at the entrances to the museum (Brühl, Katharinenstraße, Reichsstraße, Böttchergässchen), but we would like to expressly point out the lack of maneuvering space for large vehicles within the inner city ring road.

To make your visit as pleasant as possible, please note the following information:

Checkrooms are located in the entrance area and are barrier-free. The lockers can be used against a deposit (1 € / 2 € or deposit stamp).
Bags and backpacks of all types and sizes must be handed in before visiting the exhibition.
Unfortunately, lockers for suitcases are not available. If necessary, please use the lockers at the nearby main railway station.

Due to the great interest, there may be delays at the entrance, we ask for your understanding. To avoid waiting times, we recommend purchasing admission tickets in advance. This will ensure that you have access to the exhibition on your preferred date. Tickets are available via our homepage or at Eventim advance booking offices.

Photography without flash or tripod is permitted in the exhibition. However, we ask you to keep a minimum distance from the artworks and not to disturb other visitors. To protect the artworks, the exhibition is relatively dark, which could affect the quality of your photos.

Visit Café Treff on the first floor of the museum. Access is directly via the Reichsstraße and Böttchergässchen entrances and is therefore also possible without an admission ticket.
The MZIN museum store on the first floor is accessible from outside via the Brühl entrance. The store is run by MZIN.
The opening hours depend on when the museum is open
