We visited this museum on a friend’s last minute recommendation and it was incredible. A beautiful building, only £5 each for the ticket and the exhibits were fascinating. The car that Franz Ferdinand was shot in and the couch on which he died along with the outfit he was wearing is displayed which I found so moving. To think what the world went through after that moment in time….as I said in the title - a world changing moment captured. Will never forget our visit.
