Avoid the busiest times and visit Hear Here on week­days, or after 17:00 during the week­end.
Due to popu­la­ri­ty, the­re may be queu­es for the more fra­gi­le works in small spa­ces. Sound art demands some rest and atten­ti­on, tha­t’s why we ask you not to talk or play near the works, out of res­pect for the artists and the other listeners.
