You joke, but visitor slots are limited. I missed it at the British Museum because I turned up without a reservation. Also, BM have two impressions and rotates them meaning that people can see "it" (actually one or the other) for longer. Some institutions like Boston have a handful of impressions so can show "it" more frequently: the last time they cycled three.
Similar to this, the Munch Museum in Oslo has three variations of "The Scream" on rotation, with only one of them shown each day [0]. So you're always guaranteed to be able to see it in some form, but you'll have go to multiple days if you want to see them all.
