Sehr schöne Ausstellung und ganz tolles Personal. Selten so hilfsbereite Menschen erlebt

Ein sehr sehenswertes Museum. Man sollte etwas Zeit mitbringen, da es hier eine umfangreiche Ausstellung gibt. Wir waren total fasziniert und haben viel über andere Kulturen gelernt.

Super bereichernd! Habe die Völkerkunde-Ausstellung besucht. Sehr zugänglich und ausgesprochen zeitgemäß gestaltet! Große Empfehlung!!
