  • The emphasis here is very much on social education. The art is hung in interesting and different arrangements. Temporary exhibitions are lavish and the building is a marvel

  • What a mess of paintings when you go in. They basically have hung around 15 major artists together on a wall and on another wall, and you identify them by numbered boxes. I think the art deserves...

  • I bet much enjoyed this museum and it's modern and contemporary art pieces. There was both a rebelliousness and thoughtfulness to the curated installations. Many of the artists re-envisioned uses for man-made materials, and others created new worlds and some were even interactive.
  • Fascinating expositions of contemporary art. Lots of interactive objects. Quite some rooms where one can sit down and just let the surrounding art to sink in. “Youth” might be the most peculiar yet fascinating exposition I have seen to this day.
  • One of the best and better known museums of modern and contemporary art in the world. A must see for anyone interested in modern art, both for the important permanent collection and for the very well curated changing temporary exhibitions. Don’t miss the Dutch modernists, the minimalist art room or the impressive enormous Matisse cutout. I have to say I’m not keen on the new extension: totally out of place, it blocks the view of the old building, it’s already dated,…
  • Great design pieces, each room was quiet different from the one to the next. Some rooms should have more warnings about lighting or noise for those who may have issues with it. Interesting and at times interactive. Large rooms and easy to explore.
  • This is a great modern art museum. The special exhibits it has are the the best staged and designed exhibits. I am educated, entertained, and informed every time that I visit. It has its own collection on display and visiting art - all displayed in a variety of room to enormous to intimate.
