Very disappointed with my long awaited trip there. Asked for audioguide to the collection and told it was only available in French, I tried it but it was too difficult for me to get much benefit from it (only A'Level French I'm afraid), and most of the paintings I wanted to know more about were not described. I was told... More

According to our guide book this gallery has one of the best collections of french art outside of Paris. I have to disagree with that. There was nothing particularly outstanding in the galleries at all and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless they happen to have specific interest in one of the artists featured there.

These exhibitions have been excellent, well presented and well laid out. But the main galleries are poorly signposted and confusing. Many of the exhibits... More
