Ticket prices can be relatively high for some visitors, with adult tickets starting around £21.95 and higher for flexible entry, which might be a barrier for budget-conscious audiences.

The exhibition is time-limited, running only until 31 August 2025, which restricts availability for those who cannot visit within this window.

Some visitors may find the experience short (45–75 minutes), which might feel brief if expecting a longer museum visit or more extensive content.

The immersive format may not appeal to those who prefer traditional static art displays or who are less comfortable with digital and multimedia presentations.
