A world-class museum. The sheer volume will impress you. The stories and interpretations are lovely as well. I quite enjoyed the Money section and the material archaeology section this time.

Off the beaten track for most tourists but this is well worth a visit. The art is truly fantastic and has many masters; monet, manet, van Dyck and many others. Usually very quiet also. Great cafes

Reserve a day for this museum. All exhibitions are dynamic, so you’ll need time to observe them as every item catches your eye. My personal favourite is about ancient Egypt. It’s just mesmerising.

Some incredible artefacts from over 5,000 years ago that show craftsmanship just as honed as you’d find today. And basically free to view.

Great museum with lots of things to see. Paintings, sculptures, ancient artefacts and other exhibitions. There is something to see for everyone.

Oh, my Gods... so much stuff! The exhibits are mind-blowing, the curation is excellent. Could spend years here... and probably will. ????
