The museum is very informative and definitely teaches you a lot of history. It was unfortunate that you are not able to take pictures.

You absolutely have to visit here. Make sure you set aside a comfortable 2 hours, at least. There is a lot to see, but it is all so valuable. The experience was irreplaceable, but is a lot of heaviness at once. I really enjoyed that they give you the option to take a break halfway through to sit in a garden and breathe.

It is a must place to go. It will help you to understand where we are, what happened here almost yesterday and why. I went twice and took 7 hours to read all the panels, but it was a well invested time. The best way to not repeat errors is to learn about our past.
