Reviews
Wonderful! As we were short on time, and have no children, I should have prepared to skip the first level. However, once we started into the upper levels all was amazing! It's an immersive cultural experience which has something for everyone. Highly recommended. If you're in the neighborhood, stop on through. Students also receive a discount on admission, so, be sure to carry your school ID.
A very interesting museum for the young and old alike. There are interactive elements such as making your own batik design on screen (Indonesia section) and popping tapes into a player (hip hop section) which makes the experience interesting. For children, there is an entire mini town at the ground floor which even adults would have fun at too!
The reception didn’t check my ticket, either made sure that I had one! Anybody could just sneak into it without issues. No exposition was well explained, everything looked very random, definitely won’t visit it again.
Very clean. But missing an order maybe because is a collection from different sources.
This place will be interesting for people of different ages. On the ground floor is a great space for children. They can cook, draw, dance, play Lego, play shop, and make music there. Now there is Hair Power collection on the second floor which can be interesting for adults, but children can find some interesting zones for themselves too. The cafe is also great and provides tasty cakes and delicious coffee. And I should notice the cleanliness. My respect for the staff.
