This regulation has been designed to ensure that your visit is a pleasant and safe experience. Visiting the Art Safari exhibitions implies compliance with these rules.

I. Visiting
1. Touching the exhibits or display systems is strictly prohibited.
Do not touch the exhibits. Although a simple touch may seem harmless, even the slightest contact can damage the surface of a painting, discolor stone, or even cause metals to rust. We recommend using “museum hands” – clasp your hands together and keep them behind your back – when you wish to observe artworks closely.

Keep a distance of half a meter between yourself and each exhibit. Maintaining a safe distance from artworks is necessary to avoid accidental touching or bumping.

Running, pushing, or any other form of disorderly behavior is not permitted in Art Safari. Also, please stay together when visiting in groups. Proper behavior in a museum is necessary to avoid accidentally hitting and damaging exhibits.

If you take notes or sketch based on the exhibited works, use only pencils and do not point them toward the artworks. In case of an accident, a pencil mark is easier to clean than ink or marker stains. Be careful not to use the pencil to indicate exhibits, as this could put them at risk.

Please do not lean on walls or display systems (for writing or physical support); this helps maintain the safety of the artworks.

2. Smoking is prohibited inside Art Safari.
3. Consuming food or beverages in exhibition spaces is prohibited.
4. Access with or consumption of illegal substances inside Art Safari is strictly prohibited; failure to comply will result in immediate removal from the premises and notification of the relevant authorities.
5. Volunteers, guides, and security staff are there to guide you and ensure your safety; their instructions must be followed.
6. Children under 12 may visit Art Safari only if accompanied and supervised, in order to comply with these regulations.
7. It is forbidden to touch, sit on, or place objects on exhibition modules.
8. Art Safari may become crowded. Please be patient and show respect toward other visitors.

In the exhibition spaces, you will encounter Art Safari staff, whose important role is to protect the art. Therefore, they ensure that visiting rules are respected.

II. Audio recording, filming, and photography
9. Photographing exhibits is allowed exclusively with mobile phones, without using flash. Photographing exhibits with any type of camera, whether professional or semi-professional (DSLR, mirrorless, compact cameras, etc.), is not permitted. Non-flash photography, non-flash video recordings, and audio recordings made for personal, non-commercial purposes do not require prior approval.
10. For photographs or audio/video recordings that require special lighting or other professional equipment, prior written approval must be requested at [info@artsafari.ro](mailto:info@artsafari.ro) at least 36 hours before the recording session, along with payment of a photo fee of 500 lei.

These exceptions will be announced on Art Safari’s Facebook page, at Reception, and near the relevant exhibition space, and will also be communicated by staff and guides.
