Excellent museum. Great collection of ceramics and some delightful surprises in the modern art galleries. Two night time woodland scenes by Turner and the Man in the Drawer painting were my highlights. Good cafe too. 😉

Cute little free museum. No complaints. Really cool, beautiful art. Some of them were even from very well known artists. A good mix of well known and smaller artists

Wonderful museum in a beautiful building
