“The audio tour was informative and thorough. We each split an AirPod and were able to listen together. Sometimes the app would skip ahead or we would get a little lost, but overall a good way to experience the highlights of the museum in about an hour and a half.”

Note that some parts of the museum upstairs were closed (Sep-24) and the guide isn’t reflected for this temporary (I assume it is) closure. Good value…”
