It would have been better resorting the houses in Africa and made a museum out of them in Africa, this national heritage robbery!

Not sure on the hours, but I'm guessing it'll be open every day until the June 5 auction. It's well worth a visit. I was particularly impressed by the operable, cross-flow ventilation disks at the top and bottom of the wall panels, though the house as a whole is just great.
