of the operating group. They pointed out that such low response is not helping
the museum to be productive especially during hard economic times.

as well. They have a website providing basic information for possible visiting
tourists to consult for food, accommodation and other needs. However, even
these efforts are not recognized by the public. In addition to that, the
