One of the best art museums I have visited. Very high quality collection with a very reasonable amount on display. I also loved the section of local artists. Wonderful spot very worth the trip.

It's bigger than what I expected for the contemporary art, but Iike it. And for the price of the ticket, it's worth it !! It's part of the park so it is even more convenient and a good café/restaurant is near (5 min walk approximately)

There may be other ongoing featured exhibiti...
