Floor plan
Don't neglect to pick up the free floor plan when you buy your tickets. It will save you many footsteps.

Begin your visit on the 5th floor
First-time visitors should take the elevator to the 5th floor. It has the most interesting artworks. Then, if you still have time, walk down and visit the artworks on the lower floors.

Another benefit is you will walk down, not up flights of stairs.
