This was a great experience for my 15-y/o grandson and me. The tour helps connect contextual history to the displays, making the items even that more interesting to non-scientists. I would recommend this tour for several reasons -- tour guide was great and very enthusiastic and knowledgeable, it is not a lengthy tour (1.5 hours) which gave us time to do several other things on the same day, and the significance of the collection is important to our understanding of scientific development over the past several hundred years.

Good museum, app was a bit iffy, but appreciate it. I wish there was more information available. It is comprised of 2 main collections of objects. However, I think it was lacking enough fun facts/information. Good to see GALILEO’S middle finger .
