Description
The experience begins before you step inside, with a walk through the adjacent park’s walking trails. Within the galleries, visitors tend to speak in quiet tones, preserving a reverent atmosphere around the architecture, stained glass, and interior courtyards. The medieval gardens display bright pops of color from herbal plantings. For deeper context, you can join the museum’s free English-language guided tours.
