Visitor tip
Visit without reading reviews or researching exhibits beforehand. The museum is best experienced as a journey of self-directed discovery and interpretation—knowing what to expect diminishes the unique cabinet of curiosities experience.
Visitor tip
Don't miss the rooftop aviary and tea room at the top of the building. Visitors praise this space as a wonderful way to reflect and discuss the experience with companions, and it's recently reopened after being unavailable.
