When we approached the front door we were told by the first person to greet us that the exhibit was closed. We explained that we had driven an hour to get there and would stay for just a short time to respect the 6pm closing. He then points us to the main check in/register area. I approach and are told that the exhibit is closed. I explained the situation and the person was just intransient. He said he could make no allowances and I could tell that he could care less that we had made an extreme effort to get there. It wasn't as if we were there at 10 minutes before closing. We have had very good experiences with service people on France on this trip up to today but found his attitude to represent what I have heard about civil service workers or officials in this country. He could care less about service and just had an attitude that I am done and don't want to be put off. I'm sure he could care less but I need to post this to ensure that others don't make the mistake that we made. Don't expect any leeway at all!! It left me with a bad feeling and I will be telling all that I know through posts and conversations about this bad experience.

They have done a good job making the theater come to life- in the recesses, in their "Ghost Theater" they have recreated famous events that have occurred here with holograms and video clips- quite well done! Its like you were there! The audio guide is pretty good and useful as well. You need about an hour for the venue.
