They frequently rotate the artwork. It is clean and at times they have special exibits. The grounds are beautifully kept.

Very interesting exhibitions, especially the dinosaur 🦖 on the third floor. Unfortunately they close the exhibition for the space and universe because there was a wedding over there. however, I still feel that it is very interesting not only seeing all the animals models and also seeing the masterpieces. and there are lots of exhibitions having a lot of funny interactions such as: you can upload the paintings that you draw to interact with the TV; and your head was transferred into dinosaur’s shape with different type; and the motion caption is pretty fantastic as well. however the time is limited for us because we booked a movie to go at four so we only have a few hours to visit here. I think it deserves a visiting and I really feel impressed.

Great museum for kids and families! There are lots of hands on displays in the various exhibit halls. We spent 2 hours and the kids were fully engaged the whole time. The bathrooms were clean and accessible on the main/ground floor with a stool at the sinks for kids. Parking wasn't an issue and it probably isn't usually unless there's a big event. We were able to park in the main lot and walk to the museum entrance. A stroller is manageable, but I wouldn't bring one if I had another option. We had an enjoyable time!
