No matter how much you enjoy visiting museums, they can become physically and mentally overwhelming after a while. You might find yourself experiencing the state of “museum fatigue” after roaming around them for too long, but these three tricks can help you deal with it.

Even if you enjoy having your peace and quiet while visiting museums, having some company always comes in handy. You don’t have to talk to your companion at all times, but time tends to fly by faster when you’re engaging in a conversation.
