You definitely gonna need at least 2 hours there! I got there near closing time so didn’t get to see much. I was fascinated by one of the collections so spent 5 min reading and appreciating the art piece already. Staff were not rushing me to exist though. Located in the city center but it wasn’t crowded when I went. Free admission. Will definitely return.

There's also a tour that you can book to go up to the clock tower. Don't be throwing any coins down though

There was a touch and explore section great for all ages including worksheets for kids. I especially l...
