Wissenswertes vor der Abreise

For the best experience, visit early in the morning when the gallery opens at 8:15 AM or later in the afternoon after 4 PM. These times are less crowded, giving you more space to enjoy the artwork. Avoid weekends and public holidays if possible, as these are peak times. Spring and autumn are ideal seasons to visit, offering pleasant weather and slightly fewer tourists.
