Nice museum. We are members but will not be renewing. There is a 'we know how to parent your child policy' and guards frequently tell you to do this or that. One policy is that a child cannot be carried on the back. For us, with a heavy toddler, this is the safest way, one in which he is calm, and one on which I won't be injured. But no. They have to be carried at the front. So enjoy the art but it's a stuffy place that doesn't welcome or understand children.

On top of that, everywhere you go a Security guard follows you closely as if you're about to damage everything. It's like a police state. Very uncomfortable. I've been in galleries around the world and this is absolutely the worst. I've never been so on edge in a gallery. We won't be back.
