I may be being a little heretical here but I was somewhat underwhelmed.Perhaps the present exhibits didn't resonate with me or maybe I found the exhibits too far apart for my ageing frame and couldn't get to one exhibit I wanted to see. I also noted that nothing was over 100 yrs old. I must admit a fondness for Rodin, Michelangelo or even Praxiteles. I've also been fortunate to see some astonishing Buddhist works in Sri Lanka, Cambodia and Myanmar and nothing here was able to move me as they did. Perhaps 3 stars is a little stingy but 4 would have been over generous.
