You have a 30 minute window in which to arrive, eg if you buy a 16:00 ticket you must arrive by 16:30. Once inside you are bound to the closing time of the museum, which can vary depending on date/special days so recommend you check.

From their website it looks like it is open Tuesday to Sunday starting at 10:00 AM. I would think a taxi is the best way to get there. We arrived on a cruise and the shuttle bus into the city dropped us a few blocks away from the museum, so we did not need a taxi. If you are on a ship, they should provide a tourist map, which will help. You need to buy tickets. You can do this online. I do not know about tours, but the museum is breathtaking in architecture and easy to navigate.
