This was a first time visit so didn't know what to expect.We were given a quick introduction to the exhibits so that we could browse at our own pace. We intentially didn't try to absorb all the information available so that we could re-visit. We don't live too far from the story so easy for us to visit. Also entry is free and there's a pleasant cafeteria for food and drinks. Everyone was helpful and pleasant.
