We focussed on the outstanding collection of painting, though we would have loved to have time to see the rest on other floors. You need a whole day there to do that and we only had about 4 hours. The museum itself is justifiably considered an architectural gem and the staircase certainly lives up to its reputation. We found the paintings displayed in an easy-to-appreciate format: the displayed collections were not too big and not too small, so we could appreviate each item. The rooms prioritise balance and calm which we really appreciated. The cafe, where we had an early lunch, is architecturally glorious and not more expensive than elsewhere - but expect queues as it is small and, when we went, understaffed. We can imagine that at peak times the wait might be very long. Next time we'll make sure we spend the whole day there .
