Hiking

The exhibition is quite old and the exhibits are very dusty. It's not really enjoyable.

The museum is housed in a villa from 1881. The house once belonged to the Reid family, Scottish hoteliers who were very influential on the island.
There are some oddities to be discovered for the curious observer.
