Special features
The space is not soundproofed and is not suitable for noisy activities. This space is punctuated by industrial columns, which give it an original aesthetic character, but also make it restrictive.

The maximum capacity of the room is 50 people, in accordance with current safety standards. For vernissages, the capacity in the adjoining area is 100 people.

Upon request, it is possible to reserve additional space (additional fees may apply) with the Foundation's approval.

The museum is responsible for cleaning the room.

The installation and refurbishment of the room (walls and partitions) is the responsibility of the exhibitors.

Special requests will be handled on a case-by-case basis, and the Foundation will do its best to accommodate them.
