MY BEST VISITOR TIPS
1. Go first thing in the morning to avoid crowds.
2. Given that the exhibit is all the way downtown, couple it with a visit somewhere else in the area.
3. As always, wear very comfortable shoes.
4. Consider that some exhibits might disturb some people. It didn't bother me.
5. Audio guides are available weekdays, weekends and holidays for $5.00. I didn't rent one, but most people say that it is not worth the price.
6. Visit on weekdays when prices are lower and crowds are less.
7. Cameras, video camera phones (can be turned off) are not permitted inside the exhibition.
