I recommend getting there right when it opens at 9 AM. It can get super crowded, and you really don’t want to rush through all the exhibits because they're so impactful

I think you should take your time in the main exhibition area. I rushed it a bit, and I missed some of the more emotional stories. Trust me, each section is worth absorbing.

Try to bring cash! I found that the ticket prices are slightly cheaper if you pay in cash rather than card, plus you won't have to deal with possible card issues

If you're into history, take your time with the interactive displays. I missed out on a few because I was rushing. They really add a lot to the experience, so don't skip them!
