Local tip
The museum opens at 10:00 on Tuesdays through Saturdays. Arriving right at opening helps you avoid the midday rush. Novel Bay Booksellers and the Artist Guild are both open on Sundays, but the museum is closed then, so plan this sequence for a weekday or Saturday if you want to include the museum.
