To guarantee admission at a specific time, we encourage you to purchase timed-entry tickets now. Walk-up tickets are also available. Due to safety measures, occasionally there may be wait times to enter specific exhibitions. Members do not need to book timed-entry tickets and will be admitted whenever they arrive.
