I climbed the steps to land on top of the hill, behind the Museum of Modern Art. The cafe has patio seating. To the side is a viewing platform where folk take city view photos. To the left of that is a trail, walkway that goes down next to the cafe. There's glass doors. This is the entrance towards the reception. Enter and go downstairs. Or go into the cafe and walk downstairs. There's a room for assorted sized lockers. You will need either a 1 or 2 Euro coin. You will get it back. The exhibitions are mind opening and provide perspectives to ponder. Identity, humanity, the environment, where are we, what are our choices. It's stepping into a world expressed in a soul full, innate, artful manner. Walk away one step closer to feeling connected to messages that may just resonate. There's an easier way down, behind the art museum is a stairs into a garden that opens into a trail, sitting area to see the view and listen to church bells. Its a lovely walk down. Enjoy!
