"Wow, talk about collections. We had a great time here, so many exhibitions to see and visit, they are all insightful and I believe it's a great learning experience for the whole family. The museum is very large, we spend 2 hours, and surely it's not enough time to explore everything. I would recommend to spend at least half a day for the visit."
