I was dubious about the decision to move the artworks from their original home; but I have to admit it's been done beautifully!
I especially like that the collection has been rehung EXACTLY as it was originally in Merion, down to the dimensions of the rooms themselves.
The surrounding spaces are very pleasant and set a calm quiet mood. The cafe is not great- not enough sitting space; I've not yet eaten in the restaurant,
The collection is quite extraordinary and well worth seeing!
