I brought my carry on bag and I just had to have it checked and then they let me carry it through the museum. I called ahead to make sure it was okay. Yes need a passport. And heads up uber drivers have to show ID to the gate person.
You may be able to leave it at the front desk. I would call and ask because they are very strict with security, i wasn't able to take pictures of the outside, and i had to show my passport to enter. I'd definitely call first!
