Traveler reviews
Momo Katz
★★★★★4 weeks agoWe only visited the Freddie Mercury Exhibition. The building itself is beautiful, with impressive architecture and a very spacious design. We booked our tickets online in advance. The staff were friendly, explained everything clearly, and quickly replaced our audio guide when it wasn’t working. The exhibition is very interesting and offers plenty of fascinating insights. The only downside is that the audio guide is not synchronized with the videos and sometimes skips or stops if you are not standing in exactly the right spot. Overall, it was a great experience and well worth a visit.
