We expect some exhibitions to be very popular and want to provide a good experience for everyone. That is why there are only tickets with start time for these exhibitions. Your start time indicates when you can enter the exhibition. Then you can stay as long as you want. You can also visit the rest of the museum outside your time slot.
Some exhibitions are extra costly for the museum. Therefore, a surcharge is necessary. You will only have to pay this surcharge once. You will receive a voucher/sticker with the surcharge. If you visit the museum again during this period, you can bring the voucher/sticker, and you won't have to pay the surcharge again.
