Recommended. Do a bit of research before you go. You'll appreciate it more.

It's more a conserved building than a 'museum', in that it lacks detail/that extra touch detailing the background and history of the building and it's contents. Which is shame, but you can still fully appreciate it.

There were a few info panels. But without a audio guide (which wasn't the greatest in itself), or a paid for tour guide, you'll miss out on the greater fascinating insights and history.

But it's a beautiful building, with a rich history. And quite unique.

We visited on a Sunday. Busy, but not crowded. You'll easily spend a couple of hours here. Though I suspect a lot of folks will be in and out for photos within an hour.
