Çok güzeldi 💐 içeri girdiğimde kimsenin olmayışı bana özgür hareket etme şansı verdi..müzede çalışan bayanlar oldukça nezaket sahibi ve ilgililer.. Sinagog'a müzeden giriliyor.muze görülmeli ✨ ama beni en çok sinagog kısmı etkiledi kötü olan tek şey sinagogta deprem olması 🥴 oldukça korkmuştum danışmadaki hanımefendi beni sakinleştirdi.oldukca uygun bir fiyata gezme şansı elde ettim ve kesinlikle ziyarete değer bir yer 💐
