Absolutely fantastic! Amazing displays and such a clear path through the exhibits. Could spend an entire day there and should have given it more than the 2.5 hours we did.

Well organized, the only issue we had is that it would be nice if in the west coast exhibits, they mentioned what some of the stuff was used for, what it was made of.
