Ya, those audio tour guide things are weird. Usually you can choose not to take them but this one was thrust upon me so I figured I'd try it. And I found that the only things that really interested me were the orders and directives. There was actually very little information on the audio unless you were completely new to that historical period and had never heard of prerevolutionary France or Marie Antoinette etc. The other interesting thing was how the show was set up to herd you through in a particular way so that you saw the show in its "proper order". I guess there are good historical reasons for that but I found it odd and so I tried to go through the wrong door and walk in the wrong direction on purpose (for self amusement). I was censured by a guard at one point because I was taking notes with a pen but he was very nice and actually gave me a pencil.
