• Book a timed ticket online and plan to visit in late afternoon so you can combine the museum with Gorky Park's outdoor installations and catch the light on rooftop/park viewpoints.
• Use the Krymsky Val / Gorky Park access points to enter quickly and check the museum's events calendar-public programmes and talks often give a much richer context to the temporary exhibitions and are less busy than peak gallery hours.
