I went during a Tuesday, in which admission is free. I went about an hour before closing and the art was great. But I didn't get to truly enjoy it or get the full enrichment of it because of the staff. I was one of two people looking at the exhibits whereas they had 4 employees patrolling each floor ensuring that nobody is tapping on the glass or snapping photos. It was really uncomfortable to feel so supervised. When I went up to the second floor it was though no longer being supervised became explicit permission for the employees downstairs to carry on with their conversations. It was not a pleasant experience and I wish that such a beautiful collection wasn't ruined for the public by the people whose jobs it is to curate and protect the art. I'm going to give it a second opportunity, but aim for a Tuesday where I can see there is a crowd that finally outnumbers the staff.
