Getting the tickets through headout was easier than getting it from the ticket counter. The Sanctuary of Truth Museum is definitely worth a visit. I loved the concept of this museum - the way how they are trying to tell the truth of life through art and sculptures. The whole building is made of wood and just looks marvelous. There are many great photo spots as well. It is highly recommended.
