I found the museum to be really interesting and educational, well laid out, and easy to navigate around. However, I thought the lighting was very dark which made it difficult to read some of the signs. Hopefully this will be updated after their renovations.
Been twice, both times I had to listen to ignorant tourist either laughing or asking stupid questions like "why didn't they just leave the plantation?" . Great place but needs to be staffed by knowledgeable locals that are able to inform some of these less educated tourists.
