  • I hope this continues to be maintained, as it contains a lot of important history. There's a lot of very fascinating artifacts from WWII here, and the staff were more than helpful.
  • Check out behind the front building. There are some good masks and cultural items. Did as part of a tour and plenty of items to look at.
