Jordan Borisov
★★★★★a month agoAbsolutely worth the stop. Spectacular selection of art and one of the most well lit galleries I’ve visited. Unfortunately, a lot of the artworks did not have an English translation on the plaques, on top of being rather tiny so I would have to get really close to them, so be prepared for the lack of context.

★★★★★a month agoA real mix of the globally-known big names (Kandinsky, Picasso, Rodin, Ernst, Chagall, Kupka, ...), but also many more local big names (Atassi, Cahn, Vallotton, Carabin, Dore, Baumeister, Leccia, ...). As ever, it being modern art, you can take or leave individual pieces. And all curated brilliantly in a fab modern museum. The building itself merits mention as a nice, bright, cavernous space, with some great exterior artwork. Price-wise, it was a very reasonable €7.5 (IIRC), and we had a great 2 hours visiting all the exhibits. Don't miss the cafe on the roof terrace.
