- The museum and program aren’t internationally famous, so you’ll need to seek it out rather than stumble upon it
Cons
–
Limited spots and shifting dates mean you must register early and re-check details, which complicates planning

English support may be limited; basic phrases or a translation app will help, though you can follow along by demonstration
–
Compared to big interactive museums in major cities, this is smaller-scale and less slick, focused on niche crafts rather than broad attractions
