Spent 5 hours touring the Ancient Egypt exhibition at the Shanghai Museum, and I was exhausted! Here are some people I advise against going

I declare that the Ancient Egypt exhibition at the Shanghai Museum is the hottest exhibition this summer, bar none! Even after several days of opening, there are still long queues inside and outside the venue (about 15-20 minutes of queuing outside, and about 10 minutes of queuing for each of the three Ancient Egypt exhibition halls inside). ⚠️Attention to those who plan to visit the exhibition soon, these people should avoid coming for now! 1️⃣ Children under 6 years old do not need a ticket, but I sincerely do not recommend bringing young kids. Even with explanations, it is hard for them to understand, and the crowded environment is not worth the trouble. 2️⃣ If you are short on time (less than 2 hours) and only want to take photos, don't bother coming. You'll just be taking pictures of each exhibit without really learning anything. 3️⃣ People with mobility issues should avoid coming for now and wait until the crowd thins out. ➡️Other exhibition tips ✅ The Ancient Egypt exhibition is at the People's Square branch of the Shanghai Museum, not the East Branch. ✅ Day tickets stop entry at 16:00 (closed on Mondays). ✅ Take Metro lines 1, 2, or 8 to People's Square Station, exit 1, and walk for 3 minutes. ⚠️ Entry is only through the south gate; the north gate is exit-only. ✅ The People's Square branch of the Shanghai Museum is not large. You can see the service desk right after entering, where you can hire a guide or rent audio guides. ✅ The "Land of the Pharaohs" is the most popular hall, with many exhibits and visitors. Allocate more time for this hall. ✅ Night sessions: Open from July 19 to August 31, every Tuesday to Friday from 17:00 to 21:00 (entry stops at 19:00). ✅ There is a restaurant inside the museum, and you can also bring your own snacks. ✅ Be civilized while visiting, do not touch the exhibits. ⚠️ The circular display stand in the "Land of the Pharaohs" hall is a disaster! Some people want to queue around the circular stand to view the exhibits, while others do not queue and just cut in to see the exhibits. This results in those who do not queue being blocked by those who do, preventing them from seeing the exhibits up close, causing them to push forward. Meanwhile, those who queue are blocked by those cutting in, preventing them from moving forward.
