Two museums per day is a healthy maximum — beyond that, attention fades and you stop seeing things. Plan a long lunch break between them; most premium museums in Jaisalmer have decent cafés that make the break easy. Weekdays are markedly quieter than weekends.
Audio guides are reliable at the heritage museums (often included; sometimes a small extra). Private guides cost roughly ₹3000–₹6000 for a 2-hour walk-through and are worth it for the layered collections — they know what's worth lingering on and what to skip. The concierge can arrange a guide pre-arrival.
Most museums in Jaisalmer allow photography (no flash); a few of the heritage rooms restrict it entirely. Bag check is standard; expect to leave water bottles too. Wheelchair access is good at the modern museums, uneven at heritage sites — call ahead if relevant.
