Very interesting. Doesn't take long to walk around. But very nostalgic and great to take kids.

전시 중간 중간에 아이들이 체험형으로 놀거리도 있고 무료전시 치고 굉장히 전시양이 방대합니다 생리대도 화장실에 구비되어있고 세면대도 아이들 키에 맞춰진 디테일이 있는 공간

C'est bien une piqûre de rappel pour ce souvenir qu'on reste éternellement des enfants, donc ce musée est fait pour nous le rappeler 🤪 🙃
