We love this museum, but when we visited it was under construction in so many areas that actually I felt we were missing out on a lot. That said, what there was to see was still great and well curate…Full review by otl

Q:
Looking at this museum, Natural museum of History and Holocaust Museum. We have been to Kennedy Space Center in Florida (which was amazing!!). I know this museum has some exhibits closed down due to remodeling. If we have to cut out a museum due to lack of time I am thinking this one because we have been to NASA. Thoughts?
A:
If you have been to NASA, then it will be ok if you miss this one. I would definitely do the Holocaust!!

Q:
Does this museum have the Air France Concorde?
