Highly recommend! Although the museum might not be the most modern one in the city, it is defintely very interesting and exhibits many different artifacts and information about local history, flora and fauna and geology. I was amazed by the number of animals that are presented and described in the museum. I also quite enjoyed the newly added part about fossils, Drilling and hydroenergy. The staff is very friendly and the prices are decent.
