Wesley rocked this as our guide

Ann_M, Dec 2025

We were very fortunate to have our guide, Wesley, all to ourselves. He took us to see items in the museum I never would have thought to stop at and certainly would not have appreciated. Great job teaching us about the collection.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you so much for the kind review! I’m glad you enjoyed having the chance to explore some of the less obvious highlights of the museum and that they became meaningful stops along the way. It was a pleasure guiding you through the collection, and I’m delighted you had such a rewarding experience.
