Remember Monday and national holidays

The museum officially closes on Mondays and national holidays.

Verify the current closing time

Official pages currently differ on weekend hours, so confirm before a late visit.

Choose collection priorities

The holdings are too broad for meaningful complete coverage in one visit.

Check gallery closures

Individual galleries may close for renovation while the museum remains open.

No flash or videography

Follow current gallery policy; publication use requires separate permission.

Request support in advance

Wheelchairs are available, and special-needs assistance can be arranged before visiting.
