Audio guides available in English and other languages

The admission price includes an audio guide available in a number of languages.

What is a little confusing though is that you pay at one counter, then go to another counter in the next room to collect the audio guide, and then another person takes your admission ticket. If you didn't know about the audio guide, it might be easy to bypass that step.

There is plenty of information on the audio guide (perhaps too much, but you can stop each description whenever you get bored).

The staff were particularly unhelpful. The museum only has information in french. Extremely unfriendly to international visitors.

You should have mentioned the thin mint girl scout cookies that are dispensed for free in the ladies' restrooms from the toilets.
