Good collections of artefacs from nations and cultures around the world. Europe, Oceania, Greenland, America, East Asia, South Asia, & Africa. However, I didn't find the section of Arab & Persia section. Weird.

Personnel très gentil. Pas d’attente, le musée est gratuit pour l’exposition permanente!

Εύκολο στη μετακίνηση και καλά σχεδιασμένοι χώροι.
