A very cool place. a sentimental trip, I recommend it especially to people aged 50+. the younger ones are unlikely to feel the atmosphere.

Interesting glimpse into the time. It's a small museum, which is actually welcome. Staff are nice.

Beautiful times, my children were shocked at how it was possible to live like this

Fantastic and super realistic museum, all cured in every detail I recommend it

The museum is very interesting and well organized.
