7 floors, currently 2 floors are for exhibits and the third is being installed. First floor is a really nice, large gift shop and coffee shop that also serves alcoholic drinks. While the exhibits are smaller than I thought, they had quality themes and items! I also love the whole architecture of the building, outside and in. Would love to come back to one of their special events.

The guide was very knowledgeable and interesting.

The elevator takes you to each floor. The top floor is currently under construction to add insulation. The 3rd floor is the library a

Considering the potential of the place and topic, the museum is disappointing. I went twice, the second time only 2 exhibits were opened. The entrance hall is great so you would expect the rest to be so, but it is only a few room with a few beautiful posters or objects on display. The potential is great though.
