Could be better ..

A relatively small museum .. old printing press & old microscope among the things on display .. not neatly maintained .. felt the price tag of 80 was high for the items on display ..

Curiosity Shop !

Museum was closed for repair work but the adjoining shop was operational. Understated complex housing a good collection of antique stuffs. Good place to grab souvenirs here, staff was friendly.
