The space is relatively small, which some find limiting, but others see as an advantage for a more concentrated visit.

    The staff is generally described as knowledgeable and helpful, enhancing the experience for those interested in learning more about the artist and his era. However, some international visitors mention that more extensive English translations would be beneficial.
