Out tour was about 15 minute to go up the steps to the top and take pictures. The rest of the museum, we saw on our own. We did hear a talk about the actual light by a guide. You can stay in the museum as long as you want, but 15-20 minutes is plenty. There are some outside buildings as well to see. If you have problems with sharp steps or heights...beware it is quite a climb, including a ladder! But, it is worth it. I hope,this helps!
