What to expect
You'll enter the museum with your guide and move through selected galleries at a relaxed pace. Expect your guide to pause frequently, ask questions, and weave narratives around objects rather than simply listing facts. Younger children stay engaged through anecdotes and visual storytelling; older kids and parents gain deeper context. Some galleries enforce quiet zones—your guide alerts you beforehand. Pushchairs are welcome; wheelchairs navigate all public areas. The 2.5-hour window covers major pieces without exhaustion.
Good to know
Bring only small bags or handbags through security; large luggage isn't permitted. The museum occasionally closes with little warning; if delays exceed one hour, we'll arrange an alternative at no refund. Wear comfortable clothes and sturdy shoes. Provide your mobile number when booking (including country code). Gratuities and transport to the museum are separate.
