★★★★★7 months agoA v small museum by d roadside n v near to d bus stop. No wheelchair access as it's located on a small flight of stairs. Interesting concept - no-man museum. Some English translations. 2-floor. Equipped with locker 100¥ refundable. Museum runs on donations. Worth a visit. Not suitable for children as it's a quiet place shhh...
