and thus globally - and free, without pressure to pay. Great infrastructure incl. free and not coin-based lockers, fantastic restaurant (reviewed separately), very friendly staff, superb shop - what more could you want?
Well, a great collection, and it's not "random" as some seem to think, but precisely guided by a collector's focus. The traditional hanging and combination with objects d'art is extremely successful, and while the pieces that are so iconic that anyone knows them (Laughing Cavalier, Swing) are great, it's the "secondary" works that often are especially good. This is a marvel of curation and a place you can go over and over again. Self-selection of patrons, and even if it's full it's not too full...
... but if you read the reviews here, the self-entitled bi***iness of some patrons is just unbelievable. In a free museum like that! With free wifi and so good service! And then people whine about the smallest inconveniences - just amazing. I was thinking, the poor staff and management that has to spend time and effort on wea***s who think the free wifi is too weak (it's not) or too many (other tourists) etc. Yuk.
I trememdously enjoyed myself and felt spiritually elevated by all that beauty, and I will definietly come back. Most strongly recommended to anyone who's a non-whiner.
