This place is wonderful. If you like Avant-Garde painting you will just love it. Almost no tourist !

What an interesting gallery with many different aspects with wonderful art, and I mean art not two dots on a white canvas. Religious and historical items on display. I was so impressed and even found the Patton saint of England amongst the treasures. Not to be missed.

If you are a serious art lover you will have been to London’s National Gallery, El Prado in Madrid, Le Louvre in Paris and the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and the Metropolitan in New York.
