Traveler reviews
SEAN BARR
★★★★★3 years agoStunning building and gardens. Went to an art show, superb art, varied, beautiful and very interesting. Bar available, wonderful place to sit for a drink in the evening
Raphaël Pro
★★★★★8 years agoImpossible to be bored in this museum. Great artists are picked to be shown. It's not like "i make art about art" like so many contemporary museums. It's "i make art about us".
