- Check the museum's opening hours in advance and ask staff about photography rules-some rooms have restrictions-so you don't miss key exhibits while fumbling with cameras.
- Spend extra time with the smaller, hand‑crafted pieces and assemblages that many visitors glance past; guided explanations (when available) add context to Parajanov's visual motifs and are worth requesting.
