I love this museum. Not large but world-class exhibits. Free admission, but you still need to make a reservation and wear a mask. Excellent tours and a cool reasonably priced gift shop too! Exhibits change so check their website!

Lovely small museum. Excellent publicly laudable general interest displays done with superb professionalism. Great depth in traditional materials within resource constraints of institution. Highly recommended for anyone except the most picayune of specialists or niche advocates.
