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

This is is an excellent learning experience for the entire family. We waited until my children were 10 & 12. Even if you have studied the Holocaust, you will see and hear new and often unexpected aspects of the tragedy.

  • Pros: audio tour
