Freqently Asked Questions

Numerous accounts gathered over the years describe unexplained experiences,
such as a sensation of something brushing against the legs or curtains moving all on

That said, these experiences are personal and have never been conclusively
verified. If you feel something unusual, feel free to bring it up with the staff!

For a guided tour of the exhibitions, it is recommended to reserve about an hour of
your time. You can extend your visit by strolling through the garden and exploring the
historic Carrollcroft estate, or take a shorter tour depending on your interests.

Our building, the Carrollcroft Villa built in 1859, is not universally accessible due to
the lack of an access ramp and elevator. The main entrance has outdoor stairs, and
the second floor is accessible only by stairs.

Most of our permanent exhibition is
located on the ground floor, but the temporary exhibition is entirely on the second
floor.

The exhibition rooms are too small for strollers. We recommend leaving your stroller at the entrance and carrying your child or walking hand-in-hand with them.
