  I went there as part of my study excursion and I was not very impressed by the museum. The lighting is bad and display is boring. The labels are old and dusty and the bigger information panels are repetitive. They can definitely improve the display of objects and the lighting. But I give full points to the building. Its a nice building with beautiful wooden ceilings (don't forget to look up). And the collection is very unique.

  I loved it. Reveals one of the beautiful eras of old times. There is also an access to an ancient castle that was built in the 18th century. Close to this place is the hanging church and a couple of other mosques and churches.
