Beautiful art museum which does a pay what you want between 7-10pm on Friday night. Normal charge is $25/ adult.

I went yesterday with friends and we had a good time. The art was fire and the museum layout is fun to walk around in. They have rooftop balconies so you can take in the views of the city

Apart from the impressive architecture, especially the viewing terraces, we found the exhibits to be placed haphazardly. Many small formats hang on endless walls without any connection being revealed. The connection is that they follow the chronology of the collection - a questionable concept for a museum that is not only a better storage facility for art, but also has a mandate to bring artistic aspects closer to the public.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.
