  • We took advantage of going to the museum on Thursday and I realized that every Thursday is totally free, something very good for the family and large groups of friends. We park the parking lot of the museum itself but you also have the opportunity to park on the street (if you are lucky) The entrance was quite fast, no queues or waiting. I think that having the tickets already purchased makes access much easier. The place is incredible, everything is organized, clean and quite easy to follow the route. It is an excellent place to meet and enter the world of art and a Excellent idea for a date too.
  • MC Escher exhibit is great! They have the prints but also many of the wood cuts and blocks on display.right next to them. Very interesting, I've never seen an exhibit like that. This was also my first time in the Kinder building, very impressive and fun space. More contemporary works, great flow to the museum. Fun tunnel back to the Beck building.
