吧 fits the sentence much better, but she says it so fast, it sounds like ma. How do you tell the difference, it's so subtle.

@Steve You don't really even need to focus on that. You can tell from the context. `那我们赶紧就去...` sounds like a suggestion already so you can tell it's a 吧 (suggestive) and not a 吗 (question).

Not very important but the audio said '那我们*就*赶紧去这个博物馆吧'. 就 is missed in this answer.

@Steve 那 and 就 both suggest this sentence is affirming/echoing something said earlier instead of asking a question, so it must be 吧.

What @Steve mean is, I guess, 嘛, which is not so important, but very interesting to address that, and quite similar to 吧 too, both suggestive.
