Traveler reviews
Mika
★★★★★a year agoBest museum experience! (that I've ever had globally). In addition to some audio clips, the museum gives an iPad which provides illuminating and interesting information about every single piece of art they have (vs other house museums that barely provide info). The art is beautiful! Plenty of comfy places to sit, absorb and enjoy. The guards are quiet which makes for better enjoyment and they are knowledgeable about the paintings. Beautiful music playing throughout at a non-disruptive volume. Very warmly recommend.

★★★★★a year agoIt is so nice to see so many old paintings and other forms of art in a house what used to be somebody’s home once centuries ago. Beautiful setting, nice atmosphere (seeing youngsters in art classes analyzing the paintings). Definitely worthwhile the visit!
