Frequently asked questions
How does the experience work?
Your experience begins with our team welcoming you and giving a short briefing on how it will unfold. A member of staff then fits your VR headset and you move into the experience area. The experience lasts about 45 minutes. When it ends, our staff will come over and help you take off your equipment with ease.
How early should I arrive?
Please be at our centre at least 15 minutes before your session time.
What age is the experience suitable for?
The experience is for visitors aged 7 and over. Visitors aged 7–13 must be accompanied by an adult; the accompanying adult also needs to buy a ticket and take part in the experience with them. Visitors aged 14 and over may take part on their own. Children under 7 cannot be admitted to the experience.
What clothing and footwear should I wear?
Because the experience is enjoyed standing up and on the move, we recommend comfortable clothing and sturdy, closed shoes that hold your feet securely. High heels, flip-flops, slippery sandals and bulky clothing that could restrict your movement may affect your balance and safety during the experience.
Can I change the date of my ticket?
You can change the date and time of your ticket once. Your change request must reach us no later than 3 hours before your session time.
Can I get a refund on my ticket?
Tickets can be refunded up to 3 hours before the session time. No refunds can be given after that. If a session is cancelled by Müzeverse, visitors are offered a refund, a new date or a voucher.
Is there a gentler mode for people prone to dizziness?
Yes. A SOFT mode is available in all our experiences. It reduces some of the motion effects in the experience, limiting feelings of dizziness and loss of balance. If you would like to use SOFT mode, just tell our staff before the experience.
Is the content scientifically accurate?
It is shaped by the latest scientific findings and insights from experts in medieval architecture. The balance between historical accuracy and fictional elements was established with exceptional care.
