Hi Cedar - They are closed on Mondays and open on other days. The information is on their website, but it is not in what I think is the most logical place - you have to click on the "Practical Information" tab. At the moment, they are open from 9:30 am to 7:30 pm Monday through Saturday and 10:00 am to 3:00 pm on Sundays and holidays (not sure which holidays). Enjoy your trip.
