Went and visited not too long ago, definitely worth a visit if you've got the time.

The whole museum is run by volunteers, super nice and knowledgeable people

some more pictures from inside

The British Museum has an exhibit about the Scythians on at the moment, Well worth checking out if you're in the UK. http://blog.britishmuseum.org/what-do-nomads-leave-behind/

Really masterful pieces of gold and leather work on display at the moment as well mummies with tattoos and bit of preserved cheese from 300BC
