Leave your self plenty of time to cover all the great stuff. And take your time when you're there. There is such a wide variety in many rooms. You've got to see it all.

One of the world's greatest museums, amazing setting and building, well informed, pleasant staff - even the guards were helpful

Great collections and displays. I had limited time during my visit so I was unable to enjoy the experience as I would like.
