Espace muséal d'Andenne (EMA) — Attraction in Andenne

Very nice, clean, modern, easily accessible museum, pernament exhibition of ceramics and archeological excavations is for free on the first Sunday of the month, the temporary section dedicated to children is paid, but the entrance fee is minimal, you get a chip card and go up the floors by yourself, the children's section is nice but small, could be bigger, the part with ceramics and excavations is much bigger and very nicely prepared, everywhere is clean, everything looks new, informative, interactive panels are funny mainly for kids, it is definitely a nice modern museum that you have to see, the staff is very kind, English speaking, toilets, lockers available, as well as a small souvenir shop, I highly recommend to visit this...
