Very interesting and so much to take in. We got caught up in atmosphere of everything, before we knew it, it was dinner time and we had not seen the whole museum.

the collections are fantastic and the displays are beautiful. fantastic for schools and educational purposes. the staff are really helpful and the food is good.
not for everyone though i understand as the museum is not fast past.
