You register by creating an online account. Since we are a small foundation and created this English version of our site by our own means, we have to ask you for a small entrance fee.
Yes, you are not committed to anything. We want to introduce you to our inspiring video platform before we offer you a year subscription. In time, you will receive an email with information on getting a year subscription for MuseumTV.
I have visited an exhibition and want to share my opinion. Is this possible?
Yes! Soon! MuseumTV needs to be an interactive platform where not only museums share their content but visitors can also exchange their thoughts. By our extensive review function, you can let everyone know what you thought of the exhibition and if you think MuseumTV is a valuable addition to your visit. It should be operational on our platform very soon.
Can I download MuseumTV videos?
You can stream every MuseumTV video. Downloading the videos is neither possible nor necessary – all videos will be saved on the website.
Can I pause the videos and save them for later?
You can always pause your video and watch it later, but you should remember where you paused since this doesn’t get saved. Just as with any other webpage, you can save the webpage of your favourite video in your browser.
Which movies are offered for free?
The short promotional videos and Art Bites are free for everyone. They are meant to give you an impression of the exhibition or museum, with some just covering a specific artwork or object. A MuseumTV subscription will let you access much more: the main exhibition film. These short mini-documentaries provide a lot of background information on the museum and the specifics of the exhibition. Experts are also on hand to tell you background stories.
Why can’t I find every museum on MuseumTV?
MuseumTV is a new platform. Despite this, we already have more than 60 participating museums – with many more beautiful ones to come. We are in constant dialogue with interested museums to make this happen.
What museums are participating in MuseumTV?
You will find an overview of the participating museums here. Despite our limited existence, more than 60 museums are currently presenting videos, photos and background information on MuseumTV. If you want to stay informed about the participating museums, please register.

Will I receive a discount if I have a City Card, CJP Card or Museum Card?
No special discounts exist at the moment. However some museums may decide to give a discount to MuseumTV members – so keep an eye on the overview.
I already have a Museum Card. What extras does MuseumTV offer?
For Museum Card holders, MuseumTV is extra fun. You’ll not only be well informed about the latest exhibitions, but it will enrich the visit itself. You will also be able to quickly assess if an exhibition will be to your liking. And if you really enjoyed a particular exhibition, you can revisit the videos again and again.
