This facility is widely open for many people in free of charge. Both of kids and adults should have great times there. I bet those who are interested in aircraft, defensing activities can enjoy a lot. The exhibitions are great to see. Weapons such as missiles are displayed together with reasonable explanations. You can get into the cockpits of exhibited airplanes which had flied in the air before. This may bring you the memorial photos.

It is a veritable wonderland of musical instruments from many parts of the world and helpful friendly staff. The displays are well labeled and the English leaflet and audio guide was very helpful. Some of the museum is hands on. You can listen to some of the instruments on headphones as you walk around. There is a bit of history about the development of some of the instruments. There is quite a large collection of European keyboard instruments from familiar pianos to less well known ones like a spinet and related instruments like a dulcimer. Really well worth a visit of 3 to 4 hours for music enthusiasts.
