  • We had a great time perusing the incredible variety of art here. It was so peaceful and quiet. We could take our time and really enjoy the Picassos, Matisse and more.

  • On our family vacation from the US my amazing wife (we’re both lovers of modern art) found this great modern museum a block from our hotel. This a must see small but mighty museum is full of works laid out beautifully, of primarily Picasso & Klee but also Moro, Monet, Cezanne, Kandinsky and more. This was a incredible treat and as I wrote in the guest book that Mrs Rosengart reads every day - “An unbelievably large collection!! So very well presented” Mrs Rosengart I hope your reading this 😄
  • Ph how wonderful to see actual Picassos and other artists. Not crowded and ample time to view paintings.
  • A museum which is a "must visit" for all art lovers. Once in, its hard to get out. The many art works from Picasso, Paul Klee, Miro, Kandinsky and many more great artists just drowns you into their paintings and you get so absorbed you lose track of time. A superb collection. A true treasure indeed! Absolutely loved it. Totally grateful to the Rosengart Family for giving art lovers like me the opportunity to immerse into these masterpieces!!
  • Good museum that contains a bunch of Picassos, as well as works of several other artists. The first floor is dedicated to Picasso and is wonderfully curated, with a whole document of explanations and comparisons between different pieces. The basement floor contains works by Paul Klee, but I couldn’t find any explanation or details about the works there. The upper floor has more of Picasso’s works, as well as that of several other notable artists. There are rooms that go into Picasso’s artistic process as well as photographs of him. There’s also a video about Angela Rosengart and some other history, which was quite interesting
  • Small museum with some exceptional impressionist paintings (a couple of Monets, Pissarro, Cezanne, Renoir, etc), however, most of the collection is focused on the horrible stuff from Picasso, and then Klee which is also fairly boring. If you have bad taste you may enjoy this
