    This place it was a total surprise, beside the Wonderful historical building from the year 1600, there are inside a collection of Such talented artists with figurative realistic And sometimes hyper-realistic painting to really be astonishing. After more than Three hours inside i could still find pieces of art in the toilets entrance! Toilets (clean) that you can find on different floors with different art inside. What an afternoon in awe that I passed. Recommended AF.

    This museum is by far better than the Picasso or the contemporary art museum close by. The paintings and exhibits are absolutely spectacular and it has a vast collection.
