We were there a month ago. There is parking available right at the entrance door. The security guards were 0 help as far as information on where to go or park. The first time we went we parked in the wrong spot. However, the tour director told us where we were supposed to park and was very helpful. We had to return based on the next tour was completely full. The next time it was very simple. Just drive up to the guards. You then drive to the entry door for the museum. It is not very well marked but you can find it... I think it is door C. Arrive early because there is a lot to see and read in the entry.
