Musée très complet et intéressant, orienté sur les inventions et les sciences. Idéal pour les curieux en histoire des inventions. Nous sommes partis en famille, les enfants de moins de 8 ans peuvent trouver ça un peu long. Prévoir autour de deux heures de visite.

For someone with practical or technical capabilities, this museum is "made in gold".
