First impressions last.. as we walked into the main entrance we where met by the most cheerful person ever... who gave us all the information with regards the art and also directions externally to our final destination that was only a few steps away. The cafe area was spotless and hassle free... a massive pot of tea for 2 for £4 that made up 4 and a bit cuppas we where made up. Well worth a visit allow a few hours to get around as lots to see.

I LOVE that it is by donation to enter! My love took me and I’m giving it 5 stars because one of the greeters named Helen was delightful and so helpful. We really enjoyed talking to her. Thank you for your kind assistance in finding what we were looking for. God bless 🙏🏼

We found the museum very welcoming!! Happened upon the museum and their FREE TOUR at 3 pm, we couldn’t be happier! I recommend a visit with a tour, you’ll dedicate an hour and see the museum highlights while learning so much more!! The lil cafe was cute and a good place to stop as well.

Such a great gallery, I highly recommend coming along, like many galleries and museums in this country it is free! The interior design in some parts is as impressive as the excellent artwork on display! Lovely place, definitely go!

So much historic and cultural art pieces you can spend hours on end getting captivated/inspired. I would recommend arriving early enough to enjoy all the galleries. We arrived at 3pm and it wasn't enough time (closes at 5pm on Saturday) to enjoy the full gallery experience, luckily its free entry so we will likely return.
