- Great exhibition but nothing to do with Machu Picchu. All the wonderful exhibits are from pre-Inca civilisations except the last one.
- My 8-year-old daughter gave this a perfect 10/10! We absolutely loved it. Thank you for such a beautifully curated exhibition—it was both inspiring and educational. It would be wonderful if there were a workbook for students to delve deeper and engage further. As a homeschooling family, we truly appreciate opportunities like this to enrich our learning experience.
- 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.
