This is done by the CB.
If this was done by GR, he would have converted this to shopping precinct/ restaurant/ hotel something. You know a place where people would actually go, rather than a this type of "museum" where people hardly visit.
You know some of our "pundits" actually wanted to convert the dutch hospital to a museum and got pretty upset when it was made to what it is now. They may have good intentions in their heart but the truth is that those kind "museums" are not much sustainable here.
I sincerely hope that this central point museum want end-up as a hardly visited gloomy looking structure.
We visited the museum in January 2014 and loved it. There is not much that is free these days but you can spend a couple of hours here easily. They have done an amazing job of restoring the building. Also went to the Dilmah cafe and shops below. Definitely worth a trip to Chatham Street. Allan - Sydney, Australia.

What is the contact number of the place? And is it appropriate for a field trip for around 20-30?
