Since the information is conveyed through documentaries, various levels of complexity can be introduced and the exhibition consequently appeals to visitors of all ages.

Other attractions include an inside view of the new Airbus and the photo kiosk, where you can find additional information on the history of money or on the miniature model brands and manufacturers. |
