Great museum. Definitely recommend the audio guide. Go earlier in the day for less crowds, but even by 10am it’s pretty packed. Appreciated the elevators for accessibility access but be aware they usually arrive on the wrong start room so you have to backtrack a bit to figure out where to begin on each floor. Great gift shops with reasonable prices.

Seeing paintings connected to h...
