Disorganization for the entrance of the visitation. The visit has been scheduled for 1:00 pm and admission will be cleared at 2:30 pm. The queues of the disorganized schedules of the professionals responsible for the museum did not correctly indicate the queue. Long waiting time to enter the palace
