At the entrance, I had to tell them my reservation number and exchange the voucher for a ticket, but they said that even though I showed them my reservation number and QR code, they said that wasn't enough and I couldn't enter, and it took a long time to explain. I thought maybe my English skills were poor, but my companion, who is a native English speaker, explained the same thing with the same ticket and got the same result. (In the end, we entered without using the voucher we had purchased.) However, the exhibits at the museum were very wonderful.

It was very nice! There are plenty of exhibits you have access too. Loved getting to see the art. I’d come back solo or for a date or for a fun, lowkey family night.

With tons of amazing art pieces, and plenty of areas to take amazing photos of yourself and your friends or family, this place has it all !

Everything is fine! Just check why not all the attractions are included but what is included is more than enough

It was a great experience admiring wonderful works of art. I especially enjoyed the impressionists.
