★★★★★a year agoI am visiting June 2025 when the only thing open is the “What the City” exhibit. It’s super cool, and free. Definitely would recommend if you’re looking for cheap activities and interested in learning more about the political climate and character of the city!!

★★★★★3 years agoThere is lots of categories and something interesting for almost everyone. I was mildly dissapointed by the amounts of medieval warfare exibitions as I am a medieval enthusiast, so if you are aswell and thats the reason you are visiting it there isnt much. Overall its interesting with various interesting content.
