    A fantastic discovery! We stumbled upon it by chance and had a wonderful time as a family. The museum was interesting, and the activities were enriching and fun for children. What's more, the staff are passionate and share their knowledge! Well done, keep up the good work, we'll be back! I'm including a few photos to whet your appetite for exploring the rest!

    I never knew that such carvings from this period existed. Excellent tour and in a very pretty village not far from where I was staying at Marpaps.
