This is a great way to quickly see the major items I. The museum without wandering around trying to find where things are located. Our guide was very knowledgeable & spoke English very well.
Old-school museum, in the worst sense. A lot of art, with no explanation, including nothing about the building (which is amazing) or the history of the collection, or the concept behind it. This is a major drawback, and a nearly criminal dereliction of duty. There are some major pieces of art here, but they're mixed in willy-nilly with a lot of stuff I wouldn't take if given for free.
