    Stay for the golden light phase starting around 16:10? No, that is evening. For a sunrise plan, use the early morning golden hour immediately following sunrise to explore the exterior of the restored houses while the light is soft and the air is cool.

Local tip

The museum opens at 09:00. If you wish to enter the exhibits, you must wait until opening time. The grounds are accessible for photography before then, but check specific access rules if you plan to walk freely on the property before 09:00.
