The aircraft and aviation section was especially interesting and well done. I only wish there were escalators, as there is a lot of walking and stairs involved. Overall, it is absolutely worth visiting, but make sure to go with enough energy and t...

Overall a great museum with an incredible collection. However, it feels like it hasn’t changed much in the last 15 years. It’s definitely in need of a modern update with more interactive features to keep it engaging for today’s standards. Still worth a visit, but needs some fresh energy!
