Time boxes that work

Available time	Strategy
75-90 min	Highlights only
2 hours	Core galleries + one deep section
3+ hours	Full thematic exploration

Keep this in mind

Prioritize sections by curiosity, not chronology.
Schedule one break to avoid attention drop.
Pair with nearby HafenCity/Speicherstadt walk.

Bottom line

Treat this museum as a destination, not a filler stop.
