Often though museums refurbish their interior, lend works of art to other galleries or organizations, or change their location; this might result in our map not being entirely up to date with the exact layout of each collection or that some work of art commented in the app might be temporarily missing from the museum's display. Feel free to get in touch in case there was something wrong in our maps!
