It is an amazing museum ! Be prepared to spend 2h inside it walking around the galleries . Really worth it, and the architecture of the outside is gorgeous.

4th floor is the highlight of the museum . Such an eclectic array of beautiful art . They restrict flash photography w some pieces - not the one attached here. 100% recommend!
