NOTES:
- Enter at 81 St - it's less crowded. Buy your ticket there and come up to the Great Hall to meet
- Rules about sketching are unevenly enforced, mostly they don't want you to block traffic. Pencil is always okay. Pens, waterbrush and watercolor are often tolerated. They don't want open water.
- Bring a stool. Most times they're okay to use.
- Guards will search your bags as you enter. Backpacks are not welcomed but a shoulder bag is fine.
