I could spend half the day there, but 2-3 hours is agreeable to most enthusiasts. However, someone can take in 3 or 4 of the museums in a day in that neighborhood. There are so many wonderful places to discover on the mall.
Q:
How long should I plan on visiting?
A:
I would say 1 to 3 hours depending on your interest in each exhibit. Make sure you visit the sculpture garden.
