I wasn't sure what to expect but it was a neat little museum. It's FREE on Tuesdays, so we went on a Tuesday. The second and lower level are accessibly by elevator, so we were able to view all parts of the exhibit that were open. There was construction being done and the main floor exhibit was closed. But there were still many interesting things to look at. Most of the information also had english on it, except the video that was playing the in basement. We sat and watched it anyway because it was interesting. Note: the lower level had a few tight passages between the bones, might be difficult to get through in a wheel chair.
