Notice regarding your visit to the museum on Monday, 20 July

Dear visitors,

Due to a scheduled water cut affecting the entire Charlottenburg Palace complex, the toilets at the Käthe Kollwitz Museum will unfortunately be unavailable on Monday, 20 July.

The museum will be open as usual and you are, of course, still welcome to visit. On this day, we kindly ask you to use the public toilets in the surrounding area. The nearest facilities are located at Klausenerplatz (on the corner of Danckelmannstraße and Spandauer Damm).

We thank you very much for your understanding and look forward to your visit.
