None of the options above is totally true. I had to pick something in order just to write here to add one note. At the security entrance , while putting my stuff for a scan, my partner also started to mix her stuff with mine....simple human error. But., security lady, small build in her 50's, took her personal bag and was saying something in Spanish and schooling her to wait her turn and then thrown her bag towards scan box. This behaviour is unaccaptable in places like this, acting frustraded and reacting in unprofessional manner. Throwing someones belongings like it is her own is disrespect towards a visitor. This didn't change our views on the whole venue and our experience but it would be much better without army attitude enter. Best regards

The guide provided insightful commentary about the history, art and artists as we visited various galleries within the museum. Her remarks in English were very understandable and easy to hear with the whisper headsets our group wore during the 90-minute tour. Our guide readily answered questions during the tour. Being on the tour at the opening 10:00 am time of the Museum allowed us to avoid the long line for admission. The meeting place for the beginning of the tour was easy to find.
