This is not the best choice here. "To be on one's best behavior" is a phrase meaning "to act in a mature and sensible manner." It is often said by parents to their children. Bruno is not instructing Horatio to behave sensibly or civilly, but rather asking him to be patient when viewing the art at the gallery.
This is the best choice here. The expression "keep an open mind" is a request or command for someone to enter a situation without prejudice or without a preconceived opinion or idea. In this context, Bruno requests that Horatio keep an open mind about the paintings he is about to see, likely because they will be modern, shocking, "cutting edge", etc. The idiom "don't jump to (any) conclusions" is a similar request for someone to be unbiased, or not to make a judgement right away.
