The museum is gorgeous. The problem is the long queue before getting in, no matter if you previously bought your tickets. Staff is not too kind, also.

Brilliant experience, amazing exhibitions. I would recommend getting there early. We were there just before opening and didn’t have to queue too long. Once inside, it doesn’t feel busy.
