Very nice little museum, where one can relax and enjoy the free snacks. Fred, the guy at the reception, was very helpful and super nice. We let our luggage here for the visit and he let us leave for lunch and come back after to take them back. Also, the visit was very interesting and the videos were very nice!

It's very chill place. I think it would be a good starter if you were here for a longer trip and were going venture about the country. Lots of history and culture about the country. I think it would get you excited for the things you would see. Also free coffee, soda, and cookies with admission. I recommend it also if you're trying to kill some time.
