The tour and explanation of the exhibits by the are also wonderful. There is no entrance fee but it is a shame not to leave a donation, as I saw many people do.

Her explanations were engaging, easy to understand, and full of energy — you could feel how much she loved what she was talking about. This genuine kindness made the visit unforgettable and turned a simple stop into an inspiring learning experience. A truly unique that’s worth visiting, not just for the fascinating inventions, but also for the warm people who bring them to life.
