museums for a short visit, it is airy, spacy, does not get too crowded and
easily entertains kids for a couple of hours
~ in London Museum terms it is quite a small museum but has a National
History Museum section with a large variety of animals from all over
the world, it even has a live beehive which is completely made of glass

childens book corner for a little rest time

Music Museum section with an interactive sound dislay where kids
can electronically try out a variety of instruments that are dislayed in
