Why it matters now

Booking information is available ahead of the November 27 opening. An apparent year typo in the official early-bird sales window (2025 versus 2026) means its ending date should not be relied upon. The museum lists closures on December 7, 2026 and January 1, February 7 and March 1, 2027. Recheck prices, availability and time slots when booking.
