The place is worth visiting. To appreciate the work of others and unwind outside, while enjoying the view of outside sculptures and the feeling of outdoors. The place could really use a restaurant or at least a cafe because, after exploring different parts of the museum personally I was worn out and needed a drink or something sweet to recharge.

What I've noticed about the museum is that they give people an opportunity showcase their craft, if that is not the reason then I suppose they can do better because some pieces weren't all that if you understand what I mean.

The best highlight for me was the section for blind people, yes if you have a blind friend(s) or a family member who appreciates art, then allow them to tag along!

Fyi: there are cats and the ones at the back love attention #smiles

An amazing experience! The museum is really amazing and the gardens are stunning, it's the perfect place to have a picnic. The entrance is free.

Grounds and building is well maintained, art exhibits are good, would have like to see a bigger range of collectors art etc. But overall was worth the visit indeed.

I was pleasantly surprised on my recent visit. Good collection, friendly staff. Had coffee at The Terrace restaurant afterwards. Many people enjoyed the lawns in front of this museum, but it wasn't crowded - good place for a picnic. Gardens are in a good condition.
