For the cheap entry fee, the museum was excellent! It has just the right amount of exhibits for the space available on the ground level and first floor and it was an interesting and fun way of beating the harshest midday summer sun. I had to subtract one star though as quite a few parts of the exhibition were in the process of being reconstructed. Overall though, a really solid museum.

Incredibly rich collection. Why isn't this place more famous?! The ticket price is ridiculously low. Reccomend it to everyone.

Great experience! Visited with small kids (age 3,5,7) and they enjoyed it ! We as parents had of course to explain whats going on, but they were interested in exhibition. Most of all we enjoyed dinosaur, fish( whale and shark) and elephant. Recomended to visit!
