Amazing experience. The public gallery in a beautiful classical building. Great exposition and collection of the painting. The paintings were mostly religious themed. We bought tickets online, and entrance was without waiting.

The pieces presented are well placed. I got myself surprised with a Picasso that I was not expecting there too as well a low key Caravaggio and a copy of a Caravaggio that made me kind of confuse at first haha
The only downside I would say is that the numbering of the rooms got me confused a bit… I also didn’t have a map, I don’t know if they provide that or not.
