Your ticket is valid for 10 days so if you are experiencing overload you can come back another day. A fantastic idea that more museums should employ

Dont go there to just buy large posters, they are not helpful to let you access the main big gift shop without paying 50 dollar entry fee for 2, even tough we explained that we had to catch a flight!

If you have been in the past 6-8 years then you have seen most of what's in there. I have free acess all the time and it gets very boreing after a while, the travaling shows are up for far too long.
