★★★★★3 months agoDid not expect too much, but turned out this museum has some amazing works of art I have never heard of. They were vibrating with color and light. Sounds cheesy, but they made me cry when I saw them. Beautiful sculpture too. No queues and very affordable tickets.

★★★★★a year agoThe art, here, was dramatic 🎭 . A little strange in the best kind of way! Eccentric, emotional, full of feeling. One piece I still think about is this sculpture of a laughing older woman. There was something wild and alive in her face. It made me smile, and continues to make me smile and inspire me today. From the moment I walked in, it felt like stepping into someone’s beautifully designed private home, if that someone happened to be a moody, art-loving aristocrat with impeccable taste 😄 The rooms were quiet and rich with detail. Velvet walls, deep colors, soft lighting. Everything slowed down. What I loved most was how the gallery moved room to room. Nothing rushed. I remember thinking how rare that is, to be in a place that invites stillness without being stiff or formal. It’s the kind of place you want to dress up for, not out of obligation but because it just feels right. I left feeling inspired, grounded, and oddly refreshed. Elegant, unexpected, and worth every moment ❤️.
