Staff don’t care about your safety !
Review first - this is a very thoughtfully and informative museum with enough to keep those of easily bored interested with different styles and mediums and helpful me make sense of what happened when and why - great museum in all.
However in the elevator I noticed the elevator is 6months outside its certification which may seem like nothing but is actually a big deal. I informed the information desk who couldn’t have cared less and who sent me to the security who cared even less and sent me back to information who tried to get lippy with me and then placated me saying they would pass it on - I visited yesterday afternoon if management needs to know who needs some training.
Not acceptable
