Highly recommend a visit here. Does not take long to get through, we probably could have stayed another hour to read every little thing, but we were on a tight schedule! We were not expecting how interactive and high tech it would be. Well thought out, and a good way to honor history.

PS. Once you buy the ticket, you can visit the muse...
