Very interesting museum, rich collection of stones from all over the world. The first floor is more interesting than the ground floor. They paid a lot of attention to detail with the setting up of all the animal scenes. Wish more signs were in English. The staff was so so helpful and kind. My kids loved it, and I did as well.

There's also an interesting room featuring dinosaur sk...
