Do we need to book the Sunday activity?

No. The Sunday creative session takes walk-ins from 2 to 4pm. During the autumn break (Oct 10 to 25) there are also Wednesday and Friday sessions from 11am to 1pm.

Can kids join the guided tours?

The free 60-minute tours on Saturday and Sunday at 3pm are aimed at adults, and registration is required. The treasure hunt is the family option, and it runs every day.

Do kids need their own ticket?

Kids up to 12 get a free ticket, but only together with an adult ticket, with a maximum of five kids per adult. Teens 13 to 18 pay €11.50.

It can be chilly in winter. The museum is a warehouse, so dress as for an outdoor walk. Small bags and jackets fit in free lockers.

About

Henry Chalfant photographed New York's graffiti scene in the 1970s and 80s, and STRAAT shows his work at true scale. Metro cars more than three meters tall pull you into the hall. Kids can draw their own pieces at a table, follow a treasure hunt made for families, or join a drop-in creative session.
