Thanks to this ticket I skiped the long line plus I couldn't find the right tickets on the museum's page, here everything was easy and smooth. I bought the ticket just few minutes before going in and it's saved my time.

It was simple to stand in line and order tickets for that moment. We entered through the tickets without time slot entrance with ease.

Unfortunately we arrived when there was a strike of workers in the Restaurants. We had saved ourselves lunch because we were going to eat at the Gallery. In other respects the visit was good. We had booked an unspecified ticket and the queue was not too long and we focussed on the 5th floor.
