Overview of the offer
Useful tips
Can I pay by invoice?
You can pay on the spot via bancontact or by invoice. The invoice will be sent to the school after the visit.
Can we have lunch with the class on site?
It’s not possible to have lunch (in a group) at Kazerne Dossin, as the museum does not have a museum café or a lunch area. If you’d like to have lunch with your class in Mechelen, you can do so in The Atrium, which is near the museum. This space can be used free of charge, subject to purchase of one consumption (per person). Contact details: 015 33 03 17 or info@theatrium.be, max. 80 people. Location: near the Romboutstoren.
Can I guide the class myself as a teacher?
No, this is not allowed. We only work with our own guides who have fully completed our guide training.
Where can I leave my coat and belongings during my visit?
You can safely leave your belongings in a locker in the cloakroom. We also have group lockers. The person responsible for the group retains the key during the visit.
Why is a class/school group limited to a maximum of 20 students for a guided tour?
We have consciously opted for small groups in order to ensure quality and comfort during the tour. In addition, smaller groups can move through the exhibition more easily, and provide the guide with more opportunities to explain the multimedia applications.
