Although the staff were not rude, they were not altogether helpful either. They asked us to "keep it down". They should advise their patrons to not bring children under a certain age, or recommend an appropriate age group. By the way, our children were not making much noise; it's just that the museum was extremely quiet. Yes, reverence is respectful, but I found the atmosphere to be a bit too stuffy. On the upside, this was a beautiful, elegant display of artwork and a rare collection of personal eyewitness accounts. Count on spending at least two hours for a thorough visit.
- Pros: Beautiful artwork, Very clean, Donations accepted
- Cons: Too stuffy, Cold, spartan atmosph

Excellent learning experience
by bduelm

- Pros: audio tour
