Everything was wonderful. We were even treated to a military parade while waiting in line. Thank you for assisting us with rescheduling our ticket dare after a death in the family causing a change in our family plans. We are very grateful to the staff!

From the moment we walked in the door until we left we were amazed by the artwork on all floors and the Proust exhibition. The staff were all so friendly and helpful and lunch at the restaurant was also great so all in all we had a awesome visit. The layout of the galleries is brilliant, allows for a methodical perusal with no feelings of having missed out on something. Thanks for a memorable visit

A vast collection of works from a variety of eras and genres of art. Spent four hours and still could've spent another four. The cafe is in a nice setting but the food was not very good. Unfortunately we did not get to participate in the guided tour in English as we were directed to the timed Munter exhibit on accident and missed the tour. The museum concierge was very apologetic, accepting blame, and said she would have Headout give us a refund. However, we have yet to receive the refund - going on 4 days now.
