I expected a little different from the museum, perhaps that's why the impressions turned out to be rather negative - I found quite a few interesting things for myself.

(2) On the 1st floor, some explanations were only given in dutch (the english was missing). However in the rest of the museum, the explanations were both in dutch and english. (3) Some descriptions were not matching the correct object (we saw a lot of numbers that were...
