Save time by dressing right and packing light.

Basics

  • Shoulders/knees covered; bring a light scarf.
  • Small bags; check larger items as directed.
  • No food/drink inside; keep voices low.

Tip: A compact crossbody bag passes queues faster than backpacks.

Bottom Line

Simple prep = quicker entrance = more time with the art.
