We were overwhelmed by the amount of material crammed into this museum, the result of a lifetime of collecting. Just stand in one place and turn 360 degrees. The more you lookοΌthe more you see. And there are rooms full of memorabilia. Everything is separated into themed areasοΌbut each room is chokka.
