Once one has to explain me the art I do see, I get a problem. Once I think I could do the same, it gets boring More

We have visited numerous art galleries on our travel and this one is one of our favorites. The permanent exhibition on the lowest floor is well signed and explained in English. The temporary exhibits were very well curated also. More

Well worth a short visit (1 hour?) as an interesting diversion from e fantastic historic monuments - the building itself is impressive. No Hockney or Warhol on display that we could find on our visit but other good thought provoking installations. Free entry and free wifi, photography allowed without flash. More
