The museum has free entry. the layout is easy to follow to journey through Ningbos history neither many interesting artifacts to see. some of the exhibits have a 3D aspect which changes up the scenery a bit. There is a cafe at the Museum for refreshments. It takes about 2hours to walk through. The children's entertainment area is a bit disappointing with not much going on there. It's worth the visit though I'd you like history and there is enough information in English for foreigners to read through.
