Admission and ticket notes

The page mentions that admission is voluntary, indicating that there is no fixed ticket price for the exhibition itself. Visitors can return at another time if they do not have enough time to view the entire exhibition during a single visit. The last entry is permitted 30 minutes before closing time. Specific opening hours are listed as closed on Mondays and Tuesdays–Sundays, but then also closed on Thursdays; this is contradictory, but suggests entry may be limited or timed differently than standard museum hours, with the core takeaway being that entry is voluntary rather than ticketed in a traditional sense and potentially subject to specific access times, not necessarily a standard daily opening for the exhibition itself within the gallery's operational days. The primary address is Alšovo nábřeží 12, 110 00 Prague 1. Further details on access and location can be found via a link to the contact page, which may contain more precise operational information not fully detailed here regarding exhibition access itself, beyond the voluntary admission policy and the 'closed' listings for days of the week for the exhibition itself. Considering the provided context is primarily about voluntary admission and access timing related to the exhibition experience rather than a ticket purchase mechanism, this summary reflects that nuance. Due to the contradictory 'closed' days listed for the exhibition, specific daily visitor access may require checking the general gallery operating hours or the provided contact information, as the exhibition may not have been open on all listed days or may have had specific access windows not fully detailed here beyond the voluntary nature of entry and late entry policy.
