β€œUnlike almost all other history museums where information is passed on via words/pictures/videos etc., this one uses a ride like in an amusement park plus audio narration. The models are pretty old, and information limited (also few fishes in the aquarium). We were the only visitors in the museum the entire time β€” an indication that speaks for itself. Perhaps the Zayed National Museum, e.g., can add a show room to include the information of this history museum.”
