“The museum is very creative ( a little repetitive, but it's ok). It's a great place to take pictures with friends. I missed a little bit of organization in terms of having a path to follow (what in some way is good, because you can spend the time you want, but on the other hand it's kind of messy when there are a lot of people and kids).”
