What an amazing place -- so much history and a truly rare find. Our tour guide, Kash, was patient and incredibly knowledgeable. He answered all the questions my 6th and 4th graders had with patience and respect, sharing interesting facts and stories that really connected with kids their age. He spent an hour and a half walking us through all the exhibitions, making the experience engaging and memorable. Another highlight for the kids was watching a documentary in VR at the end of the tour. I found it to be a good way to make history feel fun and relatable to younger visitors. I can’t recommend this museum enough!Posted on Google![]()
