My husband and I spent last December an afternoon there. He is not much of an art lover and would only look at the collections from the later periods, however he spent the rest of the afternoon out on the grounds enjoying the gardens, view and buildings. Me, I went through the whole compound, awestruck. The collection seems to have an emphasis on very old (1400) art.
At the time we were there, a photography exhibit was in residence. I thought I wouldn't like it as the images were from 30 years ago but I was so taken with the people and compositions I spent far longer in there than I thought I would. Art always surprises.
Also amazing is that the museum is free. With three restaurants and food available on the courtyards. Next time we head down there we are planning to have a meal after viewing.
It wasn't as large as I thought it would be...but it is breathtaking once you arrive off the tram. The views to the Pacific are unbelievable. (Sorry for so many adjectives!)
