I really wanted to go inside this place and see the art but alas... it was closed More

I am not a huge art fan, but this collection was rated too highly by the guidebooks to pass up. The price is reasonable - I think around 8 euros per person to enter. There is no small English guidebook available - though there was Polish, and Czech, and Greek, and Japanese, this is not a particularly English-friendly city. We... More
