Museum notes · editor's pick

“Free, quiet, and the best two hours you can spend before deciding where to go next.”

The guide

Start on the second floor

The chronological route begins with the Neolithic galleries upstairs and works down. Two hours covers the essentials; three covers everything.

Practical

Book the free slot on the museum's official channel the day before. Lockers are free; the café is plain but the courtyard is pleasant.

Practical notes

  • Closed Mondays; reserve a free slot in advance
