Check out the schedule for any cultural programs. I got to see a live traditional dance which added a unique touch to my visit.

don't skip the outdoor area! it has beautiful gardens and monuments that are great for pictures, and it’s often overlooked by visitors

Don’t miss the interactive exhibitions! I thought they were just for kids, but I really enjoyed them as an adult. They make the history come alive!

Beware of visiting on weekends! It can get super busy and you might not get the full experience. I found weekdays to be way quieter and more enjoyable.

I suggest checking out the museum's gift shop on your way out. They have some unique souvenirs that you won't find anywhere else plus it's usually less crowded then.

I suggest grabbing the museum brochure as soon as you arrive. It's full of neat tidbits that the staff might not tell you during your visit, and it really enhanced my experience!

I think skipping the expensive guided tours can save you some cash. The museum has plenty of info, so you can enjoy it at your own pace with just a brochure

I recommend getting there right when it opens at 9 AM. It got super crowded later and I wished I’d had more time to explore without the rush.
