recommend visit to the museum, you can go all the way in a calm and see everything in detail, and there are very diverse and interesting material. The day I attended I staff charge was not ideal, which corroborated with just a couple of questions asked, the only downside I found him to visit. Otherwise it is very well organized and very illustrative. I got plenty of photographic material that I will incorporate over future entries.
