I recommend starting your visit at 10 am when they open. It gets busy, and you’ll have the galleries to yourself for a while, which makes it way more enjoyable.

My advice is to check out the museum's café for a quick snack; it’s reasonably priced and perfect for a break without needing to leave the museum.

I think you should grab a free map when you arrive. The layout is a bit tricky, and it really helps to plan your route, especially if you're short on time.

I recommend visiting on a weekday to avoid the weekend crowds; you'll get to explore the exhibits in peace!

If you want to stretch your visit a bit, plan for 2-3 hours. There’s more to see than you might expect!

I suggest taking advantage of the free entry to save some cash, but do consider donating at the end if you enjoyed your visit. It feels good to support a place that’s all about educating.

My advice is to bring some change for the arcade machines. It’s super fun to play the classics, but I didn't have coins and felt like I missed out on a lot.

I recommend taking a few minutes in the gift shop before you leave. They have unique souvenirs that you won't find in many places, and they’re pretty affordable

I suggest checking their website for any special events before your visit. I stumbled upon a cool talk that was happening that day, and it made my experience way better!
