I was treated with extreme rudeness and disrespect from the woman at the entrance to the special exhibit. I politely asked how much a ticket would cost, if it was free, and where I could buy one. Apparently these simple questions offended her, and rather than answering me, she sarcastically insulted me and continued with degrading comments. I've never experienced anything like this at a museum anywhere in the world. I was expecting to enjoy a pleasant day visiting museums in Bratislava, and this really soured my impression. Despite buying a ticket later, I only visited the main hall and not the special exhibit, because I didn't want to interact with this angry, troubled person again. I wonder why a museum would employ someone so disrespectful and unwilling to answer questions from visitors.

Nice and interesting museum we could go up to the Tower it was beautiful. Then, at one point, there is an interaction game puzzle in one room. My daughter sat on the side cupboard with all the pieces, and I understand now that it was not allowed, even though it wasn't written anywhere. One lady with long blond hair came in the room shouting at us, We understood this was not allowed, but the manner was totally out of order. She also reprehend us because we left some pieces of the puzzle on the board (while trying which one would fit) and also got upset shouting because some pieces overlap each other in the board (?) . We were completely astonished by the manner and the rudeness of this lady, my child had ADHD started to cry as she was completely shocked and petrified.

Argos Theater

The ancient Argos Theater was built in 320 BC. and is located in Argos, Greece against Larissa Hill. Nearby from this site is Agora, Roman Odeon, and the Baths of Argos. The theater is one of the largest architectural developments in Greece and was renovated in ca 120 AD.

The Hellenistic theater at Argos is cut into the hillside of the Larisa, with 90 steps up a steep incline, forming a narrow rectilinear cavea. Among the largest theaters in Greece, it held about 20,000 spectators and is divided by two landings into three horizontal sections. Staircases further divide the cavea into four cunei, corresponding to the tribes of Argos A high wall was erected to prevent unauthorized access into the theatron and may have helped the acoustics, but it is said the sound quality is still very good today.

Around 120 CE, both theaters were renovated in the Roman style.
