First of all: this is a beautiiful building: it is quite simple, with plastered white walls and white vaults and old wooden doors and staircases. I would already go for the building alone, but each time I get pleasantly surprised by some exhibition of someone I had never heard of.

It was all collected by one couple, which is rather staggering, but one has to wonder if there were collections within it that had been looted by the Nazis. No one is going to discuss that however. If you like glass, this is worth visiting.
