    The museum has a very large selection of geological artifacts and the collection is very well preserved and displayed. It is very informative and educational, great place to take kids.

    Interesting museum with a huge collection. There must be millions of things in this museum. It is a time machines back to how museums looked 100 years ago, that was an interesting experience. There is a lot to see, most are originals, and when it was a cast/copy it was clearly marked. I enjoyed the vist and many signs are also in English
