“Love, love, love this museum. 3 floors about love, each with a different theme. The exhibits were charming in an old school way. The top floor was FILLED with paper hearts—on the walls, the ceilings with personal messages from people who visited from all around the world. My husband and I left messages about our romance and I left a paper heart for my mom and dad too. And the darling woman at the front door took our picture in front of the museum as a memento of our visit.❤️❤️❤️”
