In terms of museums, this was one of the smaller ones I've been to. What made the trip for me was the design of the palace. It's 3 floors with a courtyard in the middle. The courtyard has a glass covering over it so that the climate for the plants and the paintings are controlled all year round (even when it's snowing outside).

The place itself is gorgeous. I always come into places like this thinking "man, this used to be someone's house". Definitely a sanctuary from the bustle of the city (and in the winter - from the cold).

I took public transportation to get here, which was super easy and only an 8-minute walk from the station. Not sure how the parking situation is though. I came here in late September 2021 and I had to reserve in advance for the time I wanted to get in.
