We wrote an entire article for Museums open on a Monday, but Tuesday is another day that is difficult to find museums open. The good news is there are a few that are open, so Dracula is here to help!
1.Parliament building – One of the largest buildings in the world
Open: Mon , Tue , Wed , Thu , Fri , Sat , Sun (everyday)
It is open every day, but visitors must bring valid ID and book at least 24 hours in advance—though a few same-day spots may be available early in the morning. The schedule changes from month to month, and since it is a government building, it may close during major events or when Parliament is on break.
