Pro tip if you plan on visiting: get your ticket(s) in advance! I wouldn’t have thought to do this, but I can’t tell you how glad I am that my aunt did. The place is packed, and it was such a relief to be able to skip this one step.

For those who cannot make it to see the museum in person, you can get a peek by following the museum’s official Instagram account.
