    It is an amazing museum! Be prepared to spend 2h inside it walking around the galleries. Really worth it, and the architecture of the outside is gorgeous.

    4th floor is the highlight of the museum. Such an eclectic array of beautiful art. They restrict flash photography w some pieces - not the one attached here. 100% recommend!

    Great place to get some real culture! Say, eat at the restaurant or bring food and eat outside on the tables... Great view of the city, even from the street!
