GroupVerified booking3 days ago5/5We were smoothly entered to the building. We thought the art work on display was fantastic and enjoyed it far better than the Louvre. It is now our favourite Art gallery as the paintings, especially the range of impressionists and the superb sculptors. Everything was spacious and beautifully displayed. Thank you.TTeodor O
SoloVerified booking3 weeks ago5/5Everything went well; getting in was easy—which was surprising for this time of year. The museum is worth a visit: it’s well-organized, well-maintained, and, above all, has a great collection. The tour flows smoothly and isn’t very long—a few hours are enough to see everything. There’s even a restaurant on site.GGisele R
FamilyVerified bookingLast week5/5Check-in was super fast and saved us a lot of time. 100% recommended for families with kids. The app is also really great because it lets you get your tickets in advance.MMaike L
CoupleVerified bookingAug 20265/5The museums are highly recommended, and afterward you should head to Giverny in Normandy to visit Claude Monet's estate... or vice versa.MMariia B
SoloVerified bookingAug 20263/5There were way too many people, which made it impossible to get close to the artworks. When we asked a staff member on the fourth floor for directions, he was very rude and told us to figure it out on our own and that we should read the signs!!!
