5 . There are a lot of strategies for visiting a museum and avoiding “museum tiredness”. Consider what is mentioned below in planning.     1    

Regardless of a museum’s size, you’ll get tired quickly if you try to look closely at every object displayed. Likewise, most museums provide lots of information about the objects on view. So don’t try to read everything.     2     “Tombstone” labels are very brief and provide facts about the artist, their country etc. There may be a number, which the museum uses to register the object, usually according to when it became a part of the collection, and a credit line that indicates the donor. Object labels are placed next to many objects.     3     The approach used to write museum labels has been much debated among art historians and museum professionals.

    4     Ask for a map, or have museum staff suggest highlights in the collection or special exhibitions. Many museums have special tours, audioguides, or downloadable apps that point you to these objects.

Some people recommend setting a specific amount of time for your visit (1 or 2 hours).     5     In addition to benches in the galleries, most museums have a cafe, shop, sculpture courtyard or gardens where you can hang out and relax for a bit.
