Very interesting and informative place. No one was there when we arrived. Just registered our name on the book at the reception counter. About half way through the museum, then came a man in charged of the place. It’s free entrance. There’s a big interactive game like snake&ladder for kids to enjoy at the early part of the exhibition.
