Traveler reviews
Graham Cavanagh
★★★★★4 months agoTo me, art is about conveying meaning through sensory experiences. I’ve visited many museums around the world & this was perhaps one of the most moving. Classical music playing in a shaded landscaped courtyard, well curated dramatic lighting, themes of childhood nostalgia, technology, war & the nature of humanity. Even the entrance is a long white corridor that sort of cleanses the mind palate before entering the exhibitions. Beautifully thoughtful space. Cost 30 NWD / 1 USD. Highly recommend.

★★★★★9 months agoAmazing space with lovely staff. They were setting up for the biennial, but since gallery spaces were out of action they put on loads of participatory activities. One lovely woman showed me where to go. There were calligraphy classes for adults and a wealth of craft activities for kids, making them think about art and the world around them. All free. The building is stunning, well laid out and accessible. The cafe is awesome too.
