★ ★ ★ ★ ★ More of a store than a museum...(?)
Most likely a cultural difference, it was very uncomfortable that an employee followed us around the store like a few arm lengths away. He would jump into our conversation to give us information about EVERY item we looked at. A bit pushy since selling appeared to be the main motive. Due to our U.S. cultural upbringings, this made us feel super uncomfortable and turned off. He even followed us out of the store...
