WHEN TO VISIT

There are large groups of school children visiting the exhibition on weekday mornings. Weekday afternoons are usually less crowded. Saturdays and Sundays are also busier than weekdays.

Don't wait! Visit NOW! The closing weeks of an exhibition are always the most crowded. Expect long lines and delays during the last few weeks of the exhibition.

Photography is not permitted inside the special exhibition.
