I recommend checking out the outdoor exhibits first. They’re really impressive, and I spent hours taking pictures of those huge military vehicles under the sun. Doing that first made the indoor exhibits feel more intimate afterwards.

If you want to save some cash, grab some lunch at the café instead of eating out nearby. The prices are decent, and you can enjoy a nice meal without breaking the bank.

Start your day around 8 am to beat the crowds and enjoy the quiet ambiance... The morning light does wonders for photos too!

I recommend checking if they have any special exhibits or events. I stumbled upon one that was super cool, but it would've been nice to plan ahead!

My advice is to visit on a weekday if possible. The crowd was pretty manageable making it easier to soak in the art without feeling rushed

I think trying to do everything in one go can be overwhelming. Plan to spend at least 3-4 hours there and take breaks to enjoy the café; their snacks are delish.
