I was able to enter the museum without having to wait and I really enjoyed both the building and the large number of fantastic exhibits and works of art. The library, the works by Vermeer and the special exhibition were my highlights. The cafeteria and store are also first class. An all-round successful museum in which I spent a full 6 hours and will be happy to return.
