Despite thinking that the tour would be more about the Cathedral specifically - I found the museum fascinating. Actually everything in the museum is linked to the Cathedral, so it really was about the Cathedral! Even though the museum is extensive, our guide chose specific things to focus on, which made the visit easier to take in. This is a very worthwhile experience.
