Peak season vs low season

The crowds at the museum are largest during the peak season, from June to August and December holidays. Summer brings warm weather, while December offers a festive atmosphere in the city. However, both periods come with larger crowds, longer lines, busier museum halls, and increased accommodation costs.
Spring (April to May) and fall (September to October) provide mild weather, fewer crowds, and lower accommodation prices. These seasons are the best time to visit the museum.
The low season in winter (November to March), excluding the December holidays, attracts the least number of visitors to the museum, resulting in shorter waiting times and a more serene museum visit. Even though the weather is chilly, the museum remains a warm and welcoming retreat.
