Reviews
It is a very pretty museum. Most exhibitions just did not really speak to me. There were some cool ones though. We wanted to try the “in orbit”- interactive art and we waited for more than an hour in line.
Very few pieces on display and hard to understand the ones were displayed. Not to mention some rooms are closed due to renovations… considering the entrance price.. not worth the money, the only ‘worth’ the view was the 4th floor. The surroundings (outside) are worth to take a look though, like for a stroll on a sunny day (which is free haha). Such a waste of this building..
I personally love art museums a lot but this one I don't get a lot of the arts, some are a bit hard to understand .... Maybe is my problem but the design of the architecture is still worth a look :) and the park in front of the museum is quite nice as well!
