An unbelievable museum showcasing Impressionist and post-impressionist art in a new unique way. It has to be experienced in person. Plan on spending quite a few hours to fully experience the art. It is presented in the same format as when it was in house/museum. This means almost every inch of wall space is filled with paintings and there is sculpture and bric-a-Braca on period furniture in front of the art. There are written photo guides to each room which can be extremely helpful. The staff is wonderful and there are several places to eat. I suggest visiting a few rooms, then taking a break before doing more rooms. This is a MUST SEE!
