The guide was late at the appiontment. He appeared to have had a wonderful night the night before. He was not inspiring at all, quite routinely led us through the museum.

Our guide Adam was simply amazing! Friendly knowledgeable and interesting. What was distressing are the crowd sizes that the museum allows. Should be better control of that. After guided tour could not remain to browse on our own. Way too many people!!!!
