In our welcome area, you have the opportunity to sit down and relax, have a chat or enjoy some refreshments.

Our hosts in the welcome area will be happy to pour you a glass of Çay and are always happy to talk to you or answer your questions about the exhibition and the documentation center.

You are also welcome to help yourself from our fruit bowl. We offer both free of charge. If you have any other requests, our small kiosk is at your disposal, where we offer snacks and other drinks.

We are geared towards children: You can retreat to our cocoon with children’s books provided by us while the adults visit the exhibition. We also have a buggy on site that you are welcome to use.
