A museum in chapters

Do not treat a large museum as a checklist. Pick a first gallery, a slower middle, and one final room that you want to remember.

What to check before you go

Opening arrangements, access rules, timed entries and gallery availability can change. Confirm the current details on the official museum website before travel.
