Sam
★★★★★2 months agoWonderful time visiting this museum/ art gallery - was surprised by how quiet it was Highly recommend Floor 2 was the only one worth to see in my opinion, other floors were “trash” displayed as art, able to be done by a child
Ainura Salimbayeva
★★★★★2 months agoAn excellent modern art museum with a diverse and inspiring collection. I really enjoyed seeing both classic artists like Van Gogh and contemporary creators exploring important topics such as ecology, identity, and social issues. The exhibitions were thoughtfully curated and gave a lot to reflect on. The only downsides were the unfriendly staff at the ticket desk and reception, the lack of a cash payment option for tickets, and the absence of clear signs and directions for visitors inside the museum. However, the gallery attendants inside the exhibition halls were very kind and welcoming, which made the visit more pleasant.
