★★★★★2 weeks agoLovely museum. Despite a time constraints, I still wanted to see the Impressionism collection. I also went to the suggested rooms for the highlights. I highly recommend a visit. The review I'm wearing right now does not do it justice. It deserves better than I'm giving it right now.

★★★★★a month agoYou can enter the museum directly without waiting in line and view everything; the various themes are distinguished by the color schemes of the rooms. It is well worth a visit if you are in the area.
