Traveler reviews
The Curated Stamp
★★★★★9 months agoBeautiful museum exhibiting modern art. Donation based entrance. Two good size galleries beautifully installed. When I went they had an incredible African art temporary exhibit. Really enjoyed wondering around and admiring the displays.
Arndt Mielisch
★★★★★9 months agoA very nice art museum with an effective display of artworks and well-organised rooms. The ‘More than Meets the Eye” exhibition, which we visited, showcases a wealth of artistic styles and approaches from Black African artists. These are well presented in the accompanying app.
