Good to know

The museum is open all year round, but the best time to visit is from May to September to see artisans at work. Wear comfortable walking shoes as the museum covers a large outdoor area. Check the museum's event calendar for special events and celebrations before your visit. Photography is allowed, but drone usage may be restricted, so check the museum's policy if you plan to use one.
