I agree with the previous poster, FYL003. When I went there I was on my own. I picked up one of the museum maps and figured out what I wanted to see. The place is MASSIVE, so plan on spending several hours if you want to see it all. It is tedious to enter as there are several layers of security, but it is well worth the effort!
Q:
Do i need to make a reservation or prebook my visit to the museum? or can i just walk in with a photo ID ? Thx
A:
No need.just keep the passport with you :)
