Seemed really cool, but it is not open for the public. Only has paid tours at specific times, but the ideas that it embodies are pretty intriguing.

What a wonderful experience. The guide only spoke spanish but managed to find me an english copy of the museum info guide. Superb instruments and a to scale model of the 63 cm x 7.5m Herschel telescope. The original mirror is on display. Lovely working Foucault pendulum. The guide was very entertaining and tried his best to translate for me.
