If you're not a 'art connoisseur' this is not the place for you.
The building has some fantastic rooms, but the exhibition is located in relatively small rooms with overcrowded walls.

If you walk around without a guide or audio guide your only possibility of information is in folders located in each room limited to the most basic info on each piece of art.

All in all it was an underwhelming experience and didn't inspire a layman like me.

You would spend your time and money better at Philadelphia Museum of art and the Rodin Museum.
