    Среди описания выставки "древнейшие прошлое" ошибка, в оригинале 7-6 тысячелетие, а не 7-6 век. д. н. э.

    Были в музее. Не знали про аудиогид, купили экскурсию. На многие наши вопросы у экскурсовода не было ответов. В музее висят таблички izi.travel, прослушали аудиогид уже дома. Удивительно, но часть информации, представленная в аудиогиде, не была рассказана в экскурсии. С другой стороны, с экскурсоводом охват шире. В целом, по первому залу экспонатов мало. По костюмам и головным уборам осталось убеждение, что рассказать можно больше. Не хватает информационных стендов в залах
