I am very anxious to go tot he exhibit -- have tix for May 11th. Just one note -- and I am going to shout so you all hear this -- THE MUSEUM WEBSITE GUIDE TO THE EXHIBIT SAYS NO CAMERAS ALLOWED. You will end up having to check your cameras, and who wants to do that? There is a big shop at the end of the exhibition, so I guess they will sell a very nice souvenir guidebook. Sorry to bear bad news.

xheheitssamx- yes you can buy tickets at the door but the exhibit requires a timed-entry ticket either during Museum hours or evening exhibit-only hours. Although advance tickets are strongly recommended.
