“If you get a guide and hear the stories you will benefit so much more than just walking around with your guide book. Do this early in the morning or as late in the afternoon as you can so you’re not slowly walking around in the heat. The museum is good- and air conditioned! I thought the best story was Samuel the Cobbler and his relationship to Socrates.”
