If you are interested in what is being shown at a museum before you arrive, that really helps. The more context you have, the more enjoyable it will be, as you can find things to focus on.

Like Ikea, if you know what you are going to look at as opposed to a "casual stroll through hell before Nordic lunch," you can escape with fewer casualties. I hate going to Ikea as an activity, but running in to look at something or comparing 2 pieces of junk before purchase always finds me with a few not-so-bad extra items.
