"Located one block from the main train station, this three story art museum houses extensive works by Picasso, Paul Klee, as well as selected works by Chagal, Monet, Mondrian, and other painters. What makes this museum so unique and special and so worth a visit is a combination of how unassuming it is (it has the feel of being in someone's home) and how close to each piece of art you can get to explore every brush stroke. I viewed a young woman stand before a Klee work for a full 20 minutes, examining every detail. There was no one to rush her. She got to absorb it fully. While there are a great many works to explore, it doesn't have the feeling of a heavily curated museum. There is a reason for this. It's founder, Frau Rosengart, is the daughter of a major art dealer who was good friends with many of the artists. She grew up in this world and had portraits (on display) of her done by Picasso. The works on display were hers and she kindly left them to us as her life's legacy. Do take the time to view the video where she describes how the museum came to be. Block off lots of time, especially if you love this period of art. Unlike other museums, which may be more crowded, causing us to hurry along, this one is designed for deep appreciation and reflection."

"Beginning and ending with Yves Klein and Arman was a unique opportunity to see so many works by two artists that we hadn’t overly seen previously. With around sixty pieces in total it portrays influences each had on the other as well as all the contrasts. In between are many other fascinating featured artists. Including two sculptures by the renowned Antony Gormley."

"This is a tram museum with two floors. This attraction will suit small kids as it has some play things for them. There is an entrance fees, an eating place and a shop selling artefacts. Inside one can find old models of trams, signalling and electrical systems which were used in old days. Some locations proide goo photo opportunities. They also have a running model which can be controlled externally."

"The display of minerals and stones is excellent. The animal section is interesting even if somewhat overly traditional. Educational for both kids and adults."
