👍 One of the most beautiful structure in the world, the moment you see the piece one will realize there is not corners in that building. Inside there are visions of the future, but it would have been more interesting if they have used 4d effects in them… few of them has it , most of them are just beau...

👍 It’s a bit expensive but honestly this was one of the best experiences of my life. An opportunity to completely immerse oneself in the artists works and find a new found appreciation for it! I definitely recommend 9/10

👍👍 It was an amazing experience. Loved the details to all the sets of the museum and artifacts that were exhibited. Would love to see the same in daylight. But the lanterns in every nook and corner of the fort showcased the entire place in an extraordinary glow at night. Worth a trip!
