- VR experience was amazing, The expedition was a wonder to behold and the audio added fantastic deprh and understand the pieces on display
- Great exhibition but nothing to do with Machu Picchu. All the wonderful exhibits are from pre-Inca civilisations except the last one.
- Concise but useful explanation on the background and exhibit items. Excellent presentation by videos.
- VR experience was good but could have provided people with a walkthrough of machu picchu at ground level. Exhibition could have provided more photo of the area.
