museum, not much people be aware of this museum.
• Suggestion: Social media should advertise more about the museum.
• Something interesting should be done towards the museum to attract people to
come. (etc. The museum should not only used to attract people who are interested
with the history and artifacts. Artworks, architecture and all kind of different aspect
