It was easy to book. However we weren't able to use the audio guide we downloaded ahead. I think the audio guide in the museum would have been easier to use.

There were a lot of people, but entry was quick and very orderly—though you’ll need patience during peak hours. It’s a lot of fun; you learn about history and get to admire everything there is to see.
