It's been a few days and I can't stop thinking about these exhibits. I had been looking forward to it but this place more than exceeded my expectations. The exhibits are well curated and laid out. While I enjoyed exploring this place at the time, I wasn't even conscious of how incredibly interactive everything was and how that helped me understand concepts more deeply and made me think about them later. The cannibals: myths and realities exhibit is a unique one, especially, with pop culture references to draw folks in and thought provoking historical context that remains relevant.

Front desk folk were very helpful. The exhibitions were so beautiful and thought provoking. Over all learned a lot from the exhibitions and about myself. A great experience over all. You can definitely see all exhibitions in one day but make sure you take your walking shoes.
