Nancy Museum-Aquarium — Attraction in Nancy

The aquarium was spectacular and stuffed animals upstairs were incredible, I've never seen such a range in a small space. I skipped the strange exhibit on Death as I had two young kids with me. The down side was the very grumpy museum attendant upstairs who told off my toddler several times juat for being a kid. The first time I understood as he went under a barrier (although everything was behind glass anyway), but I was already in the process of pulling him back when she came and told him off (and not even addressed to me!). Then he was sitting watching a video for a long time and she watched him with a very mean face and had her eye on him the whole time, just waiting for him to do the wrong thing again. I even made eye contact with her and smiled and she just gave me a strict mean face back. Then when we were leaving he complained slightly and she aggressively shushed him right across the museum. It was a horrible experience, I mean he's just a kid (only 3 years old). I'll be honest that she spoiled the experience for me. Is the expectation for complete science at a museum made...
