i think it’s smart to plan at least 3 hours for your visit. there’s so much to see and trust me you don’t wanna rush through it. i was exhausted after 2 hours but still wished to see more!

My advice is to grab a museum guide at the entrance. It’s super helpful in navigating the exhibits. I kinda just wandered around, and I felt I missed out on some cool info.

I recommend visiting on a weekday if you can. It's way less crowded, and you can soak in all the art peacefully. Weekends can be a bit chaotic, to be honest

I suggest grabbing an audio guide. It made the exhibits so much more interesting and I learned things I totally missed otherwise.

If you're on a budget, look for discount passes for nearby attractions. I ended up saving a decent amount by visiting places with combo tickets.

My advice is to wear comfy shoes! You’ll be doing a lot of walking around the museum and the surrounding areas, so trust me, a solid pair of sneakers is a must.

I recommend bringing some snacks and water. While the food options are decent, they can get a bit pricey, and you'll want some energy while exploring.

Skip the souvenir shop unless you really want something special. I found the prices a bit steep and I didn't see much that caught my eye.

Bring a water bottle. They have places to refill, and it’ll save you some cash instead of buying drinks inside. Plus, you'll stay hydrated while exploring!

Try to visit on a weekday if you can. The crowds were much thinner, and I really enjoyed taking my time looking at the pieces without rushing through!

Don't skip the gift shop! There's some unique art-inspired souvenirs that I didn’t expect to find. Just be aware some items can be pricier than you think

If you’re a fan of art, don’t miss the gift shop on your way out. They have some unique local art pieces and souvenirs that make great mementos.

The café there can be a bit pricey, so I’d recommend grabbing a quick snack from a convenience store nearby before you go in.

I recommend bringing a portable charger. You’ll want to take loads of pictures, and trust me, you don’t want to be hunting for a place to plug in.

I recommend getting there by 10 AM to avoid the crowds. When I went, the later it got, the busier it became, making it harder to enjoy the exhibits!

Make sure to wear comfy shoes! The museum is big, and I underestimated the walking. By the end of the day, my feet were killing me!
