wp-elements-20f3413d9349b0e894ee84ea9a0e3f0d\">We were surprised at the sheer size of the museum. To see it all and take it all in would take days. We mainly took in the history part of the museum on the ground floor. that took all the time we had. Lots of very old articles on display, hundreds of years old, great that they have been recovered and preserved for us and future generations to enjoy. Loved the old armour and fighting weapons of old. Lots of pottery to admire and it is great that they have the original flag in the museum. If you get the chance visit for sure , make sure you allow plenty of time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5 \u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-theme-palette-4-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-47c0bc936f1a3245c3ff8d0a988c6755\">Mar 2025<br>by rodrigoselback<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:75%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Great walk<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-theme-palette-4-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-1be7147131d898dc01e8f1b5804c9c18\">A wonderful walk<br>The whole atmosphere outside the museum is worth the walk<br>The exhibitions are wonderful<br>is a great place to be<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:25%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5 \u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605\u2605<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-theme-palette-4-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-0b153fcb7a602a1d3a63bb990f7e7367\">Aug 2025<br>by FMBKK<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:75%\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Magnificent permanent collections<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-theme-palette-4-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-973b66366b4962cd9b5a0e2f55b17822\">A magnificent case, for exceptional permanent collections.
