Good for a short visit.
This is a quirky place. The museum displays use mostly human sized mannequins, and some seem to have seen better days. The visit was made much better by the narration of the local guide. The place laso has a big shop and they also do demonstrations on mosaic making. We felt that the staff became less enthusiastic when they realized that we do not plan to buy anything. Nevertheless, this is inexpensive to visit.

Worth a visit.
We didn't know about this place but our amazing driver, Omran Brkawi, suggested we should stop by. The museum gave us a good insight in the local history and showed us the way people lived in the area a long time ago. Our guide was very helpful and had a good sense of humour - we really enjoyed walking around with him. After the visit we contributed to a world record attempt - to make the largest mosaic in the world! Well worth a visit if you are in the area.
