Beautiful building and galleries. Right when you enter there isva lovely garden/park where you can seat on the benches and relax. The entrance was 4 euro, but we get in with a student pass. On the basement there is a sculpture exhibition. Absolutely impressed, but the quality and scale of those sculpture. After that the main galleries span on 2 levels in chronological order. It starts with the Egyptian exhibition and it goes all the way to Impresionists like Monet and Degas. There is also a small room with a quite impressive coin collection. It takes about 2 hours to go briefly through all the museum and 3-4 hours if you listen the audio tours as well. The side notes are all in French.
