Just the layout of the museum and all the different pieces of old sculptures. However I think the museum wasted a lot of space as the volume of the structure is so much bigger than the surface that was covered. But it was user friendly and easy to get to everythig once you are inside the museum. However to far to still walk from the drop off area to the actual entrance of the museum. Especially in summer it will be a problem.

The beauty of the building, the well-presented and clear information of the exhibits, the friendliness and professionalism of the staff. GEM is perhaps the best museum I have visited in the world. Fabulous!
