It was very beautiful, but you're going through it very quickly. You can do this quick museum in two hours, but definitely worth all two of them!

Definitely has to be one of the more unique museums that I have been to. An amazing collection of coaches which tells the story of this particular era in transportation right down to the uniforms that the staff would have worn. Some of the collection is amazingly functional while other parts is so beautiful.
