The museum itself was amazing! Deff recommend it. However, when it's almost time to close the museum, we came across staff that was rude and unprofessional when asking us to walk towards the exit. It's a place of interest for tourists and locals, the least we could do is ask nicely to step towards the exit. My experience was delightful, except for the fact that I felt as if I was an inmate being told where to walk.
