After what the Frank family went through it feels unseemly to criticize anything about the house. The crowds were bigger than I expected and this made it more difficult to to study the exhibits and get a sense of their experience. But get a sense I must have because as I approached the end my horror increased. The physical discomfort... More

Never really knew the story of Anne Frank so I really enjoyed my visit here. I found the details interesting and makes me want to read her diaries.

My review is not a comment on the subject of the museum (i.e. Anne Frank's harrowing and inspiring life story) but of the museum and how it's set-up. The heart wrenching story of Anne Frank and her diary entries are brought to life as you walk through this house turned museum, but not as much as they could be. First,... More
