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!

My advice is to grab the audio guide. It really makes the exhibits come to life and helps you understand the contexto better. I wish I did this earlier in my visit.

Bring along some snacks and water! The on-site cafe is nice but a bit pricey, and you might not want to waste time looking for food when you can munch while exploring.

If you have a student ID, show it. They gave me a discount. I didn’t know at first and ended up paying full price – bummer.

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
