During your visit
Central atrium
The Atrium is the heart and soul of the Museum and serves as a point of reference for visitors. The three floors of galleries arranged around this central area are interconnected by catwalks, glass elevators, and stairs.
Exhibition galleries
The exhibition space comprises a total of 20 galleries.
The Atrium and catwalks connect the different galleries, making it easy to find your way around the Museum and providing different perspectives on the various exhibition spaces. As you enter the Museum, you’ll discover that despite the complex shapes and forms of the exterior, the interior is a clear and orderly space that is quite easy to negotiate.
Non-exhibition areas
Non-exhibition areas include a 300-seat Auditorium, two restaurants, a café, and a store/bookstore.
Please note
During the summer, it is suggested that layered clothing be worn as the temperature inside the Museum is quite cool.
