If you love history, you'll love this place. The building was restored and now under private management. So, it is not just well-curated but also well-taken care of.
Check out the link above or picture below for details on visiting hours and such. I recommend visiting in the morning so you can walk outside as there are plenty to see. Read: photo op!

There is entry fee here and we got a tour guide! But before the tour started, we were asked to watch an introduction video. Please pay attention!

The guide I got was very informed and she had patiently answered all my questions. She didn't rush me off like some museum guides tend to do. I spent more than enough time strolling around the gallery gazing at old photographs, looking at old pictures and reading all the info.
Tour ended at the souvenir shop. They'll usually have something that is in theme with what ever special exhibition on show but nothing interest me so all I got from the shop was a bottle of orange juice.
Visit it for I'm sure you'll learn something new just like I did!

Hope you'll have as much fun as I did!
