A must visit for contemplating art lovers. This museum area is quite big with many different galleries and buildings. Great mix of different international art exhibitions on a high level. Great industrial yet chic feeling when exploring the museum. Even the toilets are a piece of art here. Would highly recommend.

I really like the place — it’s super cool. Each building has its own unique structure, layout, and design. They’re all different in style, but every one of them is so well done. One of my favorites is the building at the front with the café and bookstore. 👍 Upstairs, there’s a cozy space where you can read or work, and it’s honestly such a great vibe. The furniture is seriously stylish. Plus, the...
