Make sure to bring cash for the entrance fee; I didn't realize they didn't accept cards. Also, there's a lovely little cafe nearby that's perfect for a quick lunch after your visit.

I suggest visiting the museum right when it opens at 9 AM. It gets crowded later in the day, so going early lets you enjoy the exhibits without rushing. Trust me, you'll have more time to take those Insta-worthy pics without the crowds!

My advice is to grab a local guide during your visit. It might cost a bit extra, but you'll gain insider knowledge about the exhibits that you wouldn't get from just reading the plaques. Plus, it saves you the trouble of missing cool stories behind the artifacts!

I recommend taking your time with the exhibits—there's a lot to read and some cool videos. I rushed through it, but I think I would’ve enjoyed it more if I had lingered a bit longer.

My advice is to check for local discounts before buying your tickets. I found out later there were some deals for students, and I definitely could've saved some cash!
