I think it's important to balance out the plethora of positive reviews with my own experience. I found the museum fun and interesting until I spied a screen in the back corner which featured graphic killing of pets. There is no caution or warning sign about this. A boy of about 8 years old with his father left as the poor kid started bawling. Seeing it for a second was enough to ruin the fun and kill what was otherwise a very entertaining interesting experience.
There's a very big difference between watching suffering viscerally, reading about suffering, and general gross out. The gross out is fine, and even words on a page is fine but I believe the museum would benefit immensely from A) putting those videos somewhere where access comes after confirmation that one is prepared to see these images, and B) putting them somewhere where kids (or adults like myself who deal with dark stuff at work and want to avoid it where they can in their personal lives) cannot see them.
I ended up leaving. Had it not been a feature I would have stayed longer, tasted the foods and probably bought some for a laugh.
Just be warned, this screen and video exists in the back and proceed with that in mind.
