“We didn’t get to tour the whole museum due to walking in 15 minutes before closing but the gift shop was great! The worker (I’m thinking owner or manager) was fantastic & very insightful! We definitely hope to go back to see ALL the nutcrackers! Till then we bought some “paint your own” nutcracker kits to do at home as a memory!”
