Some things to consider during your visit:

1) If you want to beat the crowds, we suggest visiting the museum during a weekday. Though the museum only allows a certain number of visitors at a given time when you book tickets, we noticed that it can get quite busy during the weekends.

2) We suggest taking your time going through and reading about each exhibit to get your money's worth. Do not expect a large museum - MOI is not the Science Centre. In order to fully enjoy your experience, it is best to mitigate your expectations.
