★★★★★10 months agoBeautiful little museum, worth a visit! Great explanation and demonstration! Impressive collection of instruments (that are beautifully preserved and still work perfectly!). Entrance is free, but definitely worth to make a donation!
Truc Nguyen
★★★★★2 years agoSuch a wonderful museum, thanks to volunteer - David, we learnt a lot about each of the instruments and its own story from him. I definitely recommend to spend one hour there with one of the enthusiastic volunteers from the museum.
