        Ting • February 25, 2016If u have to choose either this or the IMAX shows, no doubt this should be it. Free educational screening on stars and planets on selected mornings at 10.30am. Totally worth the ticket price. Amazing!

        John N. • April 1, 2014Small but lovely museum, and blissfully uncrowded compared to most others. Signs do a better job of telling you what you're looking at than museums with more familiar subjects.
