Prices read on the museum's pages and on the Ministry of Culture's page on 24 October 2026. The full price rose to 18 € on 1 July 2026, according to a museum notice of 8 July 2026. The museum publishes notices that change the ticket price on some event days, without giving the amounts here, and we could not read whether booking online adds a fee: the sales platforms did not load for us. The reduced ticket runs from 18 years old up to and including the day of the 25th birthday. Free categories follow the Ministry of Culture's list, so bring proof of your right. The castle ticket also gives one free entry to each of the two house-museums, Hendrik Christian Andersen and Boncompagni Ludovisi, on the same day or the next two days, but the museum calls this experimental and promotional until 31 December 2026. The Tiqets price is the one at the time of writing and can change.
