Musée des explorations du monde — Attraction in Grasse

We visited this museum with my 5 y.o. this morning. The exposition is little and quite good to explain to a kid how primitive societies used different kinds of materials 'at hand' to live. Also, a lot of cult and religious items to explain beliefs in different times and places. We were THE ONLY visitors of the museum this morning and perhaps that, alongside the covid-19 hysteria, attracted that much attention to us, but we had a few remarks from museum attendants. First, one of the ladies (there was one in EACH of the some 7-8 rooms of the museum) decided my mask was not high enough on my nose (again, NONE but us and museum attendants on the premises), then another lady got anxious for my very small and completely flat "backpack" bag (nothing to do with tourist backpacks, a small 25x30 cm bag in the form of the backpack that I was wearing on my back to free my hands) and asked to wear it on my chest. The museum rules exclude drinking water (and mind it, it was 31C this morning and we are talking of a 5 yo kid accompanied by an adult). A couple of times I asked attendants for meanings of some of the words on descriptive panels we didn't know - the relatively young ladies knew none, the second one even retorted that she was a museum attendant and not a guide.... Seriously? My son was interested at first, but after this remark started asking me to leave the place. Eight employees in an empty museum, completely uninterested in their work and rather unfriendly towards the first morning visitors .... Oh yes, and full-price ticket (6 euro) although the tower was closed to the public for sanitary reasons, no reduction for the reduced service... A very unpleasant aftertaste although, as I said, the little exposition and its history could be...

The museum is magnificent, excellent theme. the last piece, La tente sombre, rencontre avec les esprits de la forêt! , a lady of museum who interrupts me when I'm watching a video, I tell her that I'll listen to her later, she tells me very angrily that she won't tell me anything anymore. when I finish watching the video, I go to the room with the tent and ask the lady to explain. He tells me once more that he doesn't explain anything to me and that if it doesn't suit me I should go back to my country. I understand that it's the end of the program, the heat is high and that you don't work privately and that you have no interest in increasing the number of visitors, but I don't allow you to talk to me like that. I have visited over 40 countries, and dozens of museums in France, I have never been spoken to like that. it's about the spirits of the forest, but we're not in the...
