Не особо впечатлило честно говоря, ожидал больше разнообразия в окаменелостях. Хотя экскурсию проводят интересно но в целом так себе.

А подскажите во сколько закрывается музей в выходные дни? Хотим заскочить после осмотра дворца.

Очень душевный музей, чувствуется что создан с любовью к палеонтологии. Детям особенно понравились кораллы и моллюски, рекомендую заглянуть если будете в тех краях.

Класное место для любителей древностей, экскурсия очень увлекательная и директор явно горит своим делом. Рядом с Ливадийским дворцом удобно совместить посещение 👍
