The museum's grounds, including the gardens and terraces, provide a peaceful environment for art appreciation and relaxation. Some visitors note that the museum is relatively small, which can be seen as both a positive (allowing for a focused visit) and a negative (limited scope of exhibits). The staff is generally described as friendly and knowledgeable. While the museum receives praise for its unique setting and quality of exhibitions, some visitors mention that the entry fee can be considered a bit high for the size of the collection.
