Review
Not a toddler museum. Tweens and teens get a powerful, well-paced war museum in a building they will remember. Free, and the waterfront walk helps afterwards.
Our recommendation. Skip it with under-7s. Excellent with a history-curious 11-year-old.
- Big Picture Show
- Silos of objects
- Waterfront
- Timeline
