If you’re looking for something to do that involves history, I’d recommend coming here. I chose to walk through and read everything myself but I think for the full immersive experience, you should get one of those audio devices (though, it seems like it might have been hard to hear with all the tour groups happening at once). Although I enjoyed getting to learn about this prison’s history, I wish they really went into the details/horrors of the lives of people here.
But maybe that was explained in the audio devices? I’m not sure, but it definitely felt like basic info if you just read through their labels. Another thing I wished they did was have a translation for all the letters and correspondence. Would’ve been cool to actually understand more of what was said besides the summarized idea. Regardless, still cool to enter n experience for the cost of 50k. Maybe next time I’ll use the audio lol
