“The Tour was VERY informative and I loved it! You don´t get the "Highlights of the museum", instead, you get a "Human Civilisation and how archaeologists get to know/explain it 101". Unfortunately, the museum closed, so I couldn´t stay on to have a look around at some of the many BEAUTIFUL things there (too many to see in one go, anyway). It´s very worth it if you want more than pretty things shown.”
