★★★★★2 years agoSituated on the ground floor of Blue House (a cultural heritage building), this not for profit museum is small and may disappoint those who come here just for visiting it. But if you can join the guided tour, the whole visit becomes much more interesting as you will learn more about the building, the neighborhood and even go upstairs.
