How long should you allow for visit?

A:
I would allow 2-3 hours at minimum - tack on another hour for lunch and gift shop. We found some amazing things in their design gift shop that made the stop even more worthwhile.
Q:
What is access like to the reading room?
A:
Sorry we didn't go into the reading room.

Anything important I should know before going?
