At the museum desk, you can also pay with Payconiq, Discover, Diners, JCB, CUP and Visa Electron. That makes payments easier, safer and cheaper.

This is completely free and can be done up to 24 hours after entering the zone. You can register your foreign car on this webpage.

Visitors with a hearing impairment can download the written audio texts and podcast, or request them at the reception desk. The film played in the Rubenshuis is subtitled in Dutch. Would you like more information about the garden? The Hofboekje, which you can find in the shop, provides additional text and explanation.  

Visitors with a visual impairment can use the wide range of audio clips available in Rubens Experience. You can also listen to a podcast in the garden.
