Choose the show first
An impressive building does not guarantee that a particular artist or collection is on display. Compare the current exhibitions and their ticket conditions, including changeover dates. Keep the visit focused if you are combining it with another museum.
Continue along the island
The National Museum of Art and Science Museum are nearby, but several full museum visits can consume an entire day. For a varied half-day, follow your chosen exhibition with a riverside walk, the Central Public Hall exterior and a tea stop.
