I recommend checking out the free guided tours offered throughout the day. Our guide was super knowledgeable and shared cool insights that you wouldn’t get from just reading the plaques.

I suggest arriving around 10 AM. It gets super busy later, and you can enjoy the exhibits without feeling rushed. Plus, you might catch a guided tour that's more intimate.
