Insider tips

Engage with the interactive touchscreen kiosks early, as they contain depth-level details not displayed on the main wall projections.

Bring a light jacket, as the internal climate control for the projection equipment keeps the rooms quite cool.

Check the digital schedule at the entrance to see if any temporary art installations are running concurrently with the main exhibit.

What to avoid

Do not rush through the immersive rooms; the content is designed to loop, so wait for the full cycle to see the complete narrative.
