    Beautiful house, had a really good time. You get an audio guide to get more in depth with the time period. Definitely worth a visit.

    This place is absolutely stunning. They give audio tours that you have to use a little card system to hear about it. I would definitely recommend visiting this place. It's different from your typical museum and it leaves lots of room for your imagination to run free. They have one toilet as well at the back of the floor you where enter the house. However during my visit it was constantly occupied.
