The museum exceeded our expectations, but what we liked most was Janet's tour. She enthusiastically showed us the hidden gems and secrets of the museum's history. Her explanations were very clear and she engaged us, leaving us with food for thought. Janet's passion rubbed off on us, making the visit much more interesting than expected, so much so that we stayed inside for almost 5 hours after the guided tour! Thank you, Janet, for the wonderful experience! Alexia and Federico

I booked these tickets. But when I got there, the queue to go in was a mile long I saw a lady who seemed to be organising things and she said. The queue is for people who haven't booked and she took me to the front of the queue snd in I went. It pays to book and what a lovely time we had. Thank you
