    A lovely collection. Well displayed. The chronology advances as you ascend the levels. From historical portraiture to experimental works. Interesting English info is available on your phone. Viewing all those beautiful works of art in an hour, I was almost overcome! I should probably have allowed more time. Many are huge! Powerful stuff!
