Beyond wonderful!
The museum itself is such a gem; it has been carefully renovated and has beautiful light with so many great photo ops. As a museum it’s obviously a super kid friendly venue and our nieces and nephews had a great time exploring, along with the rest of our guests.
Truly cannot recommend the museum enough!
