Description




Taking the stairs down reveals considerably more space than the entrance suggests. The rooms branch out across eras and cultures, spotlighting paintings, prints, and sculptures from distinct artistic traditions. While the floor plan has a maze-like layout that can take time to navigate, the museum also includes a peaceful outdoor garden.
