Traveler reviews
Anh Nguyen
★★★★★2 months agoHighly recommended for anyone interested in modern art, particularly works from the Post-Impressionist and Fauvist periods. The museum houses an exceptional collection, would gladly visit again whenever the opportunity arises. The terrace also offers a fantastic view of the Duomo. I noticed some visitors recommend coming at sunset, but during the European summer, sunset is quite late, which may not be practical.
