Cons
–
The theme centers on nudes, which might feel awkward for some families or cultural preferences
–
Limited dates and one-hour window mean tight scheduling for tourists; spots may book out fast
–
Audio-guided format may feel less interactive than a live, English-language docent tour
–
Compared with big family programs in U.S. museums, on-site kid amenities (play spaces, nursing rooms info, etc.) aren’t clearly detailed in the listing
