Great place to visit, and doesn't take long. The staff were all very helpful and provided audi machines in English. I really just wanted to stand in his house but there were plenty of exhibits to see and lots of information. You also get to visit "number 13" for free with the same ticket where there was even more information and loads more exhibits, well worth it.
