This part of the museum is particularly appealing to film enthusiasts and those curious about behind-the-scenes movie magic.

    While many visitors find the museum engaging and well-curated, some note that the cinema section might be less extensive than expected. The museum can get crowded, especially during peak tourist seasons, which may impact the viewing experience.

    The staff is generally described as friendly and knowledgeable, though some visitors mention that more detailed explanations in English would be helpful for international tourists.

    Ticket prices are considered reasonable by most visitors given the unique nature of the exhibits. However, a few reviewers feel the museum is a bit overpriced for its size.
