“The experience was incredible. Shame that some staff were so unfriendly and rude. We were shocked at how they talked to visitors. They were obviously unhappy and bothered, almost annoyed at having to work with tourists visiting the museum. It makes you wonder why they chose that job in the first place. It ruined our entrance and experience.”
