Be prepared for some sections to be crowded, especially the main exhibits. I'd say go in the afternoon, around 3 PM, when it seemed less busy.

I suggest downloading a map of the museum beforehand. It helped me a lot since the layout can be a bit confusing. Don’t waste time wandering aimlessly!

I found the signs a bit confusing, so I recommend downloading their app before your visit. It helped me navigate and learn more about the exhibits.

i recommend checking out the museum's free entrance days, which can save you a few bucks. i went on a sunday and it was packed but worth it.

If you're into photography, take time to explore the outside of the museum too. The architecture is just as unique as the art inside!

I recommend getting there right when the museum opens at 10 AM. It gets crowded later, and you can enjoy the exhibits without feeling rushed. Plus, you'll have a better chance to interact with the staff who are super helpful.

Take your time to explore the little exhibition corners they have. I missed some cool artifacts because I rushed through to catch the main highlights.

Don't skip the gift shop on your way out. I found some unique souvenirs there that aren't available anywhere else in the city.

If you're short on cash, check if they have any discount days; I snagged a half-price ticket just by timing my visit right!

My advice is to check out the outdoor exhibits first. They’re pretty cool and can get you in the mood for the indoor stuff. I missed them at first because I went straight inside!

I suggest visiting on a Wednesday or Thursday. It’s less crowded, and you can really take your time exploring the exhibits without feeling rushed. Plus, the museum is free on Sundays, but it can get super packed!
