Highly recommend. All the exhibits were so thoughtfully and well curated. The audio guided exhibit on an Rohingya immigrants story was particularly heartbreaking. They have a great interactive area for kids as well. Could easily spend a day here.

We went to see the Titanic exhibit, which was an incredible experience, hearing the human stories behind the sinking. Highly recommend the audio guide.

The exhibition about crowds was also very entertaining
