Good reproduction of the frescos
As with many museums here it is not extensive but comes as part of the rock entrance so might as well go around. The best bit is probably the reproduction of the wall paintings on the rock face. The building itself is quite interesting as it seems to have been constructed around trees. There’s lots of wildlife and birds in the area - monkeys and special birds

Slightly tired
The museum has a great open air style to it, but sadly looking dilapidated in places. Nevertheless, worth a visit to obtain background information on the history of the rock and the archaeological finds. Interesting photos of late 19 century archaeological expeditions. Also you there are copies of the frescos which you are not allowed to take photos of on the rock itself, but the museum allowed us to take pictures of the copies.
