Visiting Tips: The museum is open to the public Tuesday through Saturday from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM, and on Sundays from 12:00 PM to 4:30 PM. Admission is free, making it an accessible cultural experience for all. Guided tours are available, and it’s advised to book these in advance to enhance your visit.
