Traveler reviews
Vaclav Havelka
★★★★★4 months agoHad a wonderful experience here seeing Eiko Ishibashi & Jim O‘Rourke play live shows and do rare public talk. Highly inspirational and worth of the travel from Prague.
Kathie Schilling
★★★★★a month agoWe visited this gallery completely by chance and were so happy we did. The Steina installation was wonderful and thoroughly engaging. We ended up spending a couple of hours wandering. There is also a great book shop that is worth a visit on it's own. Definitely will return in the future.
