Two friends of mine viewed this exhibition last Sunday and said it was a MADHOUSE. This exhibition was so crowded that it was hard to really take it in, they said, which was a shame as it is a rare treat. (This is the first time these beautiful scrolls have been exhibited outside of Japan.)
Arriving very early, very late, or perhaps not on the final day of the exhibiton (April 29) might do the trick in avoiding the worst of the crowds.
Here's the latest info. from the NGA:
