Insider tips

Wear comfortable, closed-toe walking shoes as the terrain includes industrial gravel and metal paths.

Bring a camera, as the unique textures of the metal sculptures offer excellent high-contrast photography opportunities.

Allocate extra time for the educational paths if visiting with children, as there are many tactile, interactive stations.

What to avoid

Do not wander into the active industrial recycling zones, which are restricted for safety reasons.

Good to know

Open daily throughout the main tourist season, but parts of the outdoor exhibits may be restricted during extreme winter weather or heavy rain.

Etiquette

Do not climb on sculptures unless specifically marked as interactive; follow all safety warnings regarding heavy machinery areas.
