Is it possible to visit the collections during current exhibitions?

At the moment the museum has neither a permanent exhibition nor a publicly accessible display collection. Due to the very tight staff situation individual visitors are not allowed admittance to the study collections. In the future extension which is planned since a long time large parts of the outstanding collections will be shown. Only after the opening of the new museum (probably between 2010 and 2012), individual visitors, upon condition of a provable professional interest and previous consultation of the responsible curator, may gain chargeable access.
