I arrived on time according to the agreed time. Found good reception and helpfulness. I did not queue. I found the part of the initial rooms, necessary to introduce the subject, very interesting. Nice collection of paintings, objects and publications. Kudos for the museum organization.

Museum with Audioguide was interesting. The crypt was cool and something you don't see anywhere else (e.g. in the Paris catacombs)!!
