Customer Reviews
El museo tiene muchos artículos en exposición, pero comparado con la historia de la región, debería ser más grande
Some of the sections were closed when we go there but still, it was very interesting.
You can spend a full day here if you are a history lover as me!
A wonderful collection! The best archeological museum I ve ever visited!
