This gem of a museum is a pay-what-you-wish entrance on museum mile. Staff were very friendly and informative. The exhibits are varied, interesting and up-to-date. The inside of the building, is clean, airy and has a stunning staircase up the centre. Definitely worth stopping in, and you could spend many hours working your way through everything.

Everything we saw was amazing including the very interesting video. Even the building itself is beautiful and worthwhile to go pay a visit.
