The premises of Vetenskapens Hus are protected under Luleå Municipality’s local development plan. Therefore, it is not permitted to put up posters, stickers, or similar items on the walls or the marble floor—only roll-ups on the stage are allowed during the event. Posters or folding screens may be set up if there is a clear purpose. No items may be sold.
If you, as the organiser, release balloons to the ceiling, you are responsible for removing them in a way that does not damage the premises. Confetti is not permitted. All materials brought into the premises must be taken away when the booking ends. We do not take responsibility for any items left behind.
Cleaning is usually included in the booking. However, if the premises are unreasonably soiled, the cost for additional cleaning will be charged to the organiser.
