This was a nice small business inside the museum. I am glad they had the cafe outdoors in the courtyard garden area. It’s spaced out and not over crowded.

Extremely overpriced, as one would expect being located inside a museum in a remote area... but the sandwich was tasty and the setting was serene :-)
