Despite the subject matter, this museum has a fresh and modern feel to it. Yes, you are looking at statues and art that is thousands of years old, but the building itself, the café, shop and restaurant are all very modern. It is not a very large museum, but you should be able to enjoy a good two hours in there before it starts to become tiresome.

Helpful Information

They do charge a fee to enter, but it is not a massive amount. It is also a good place to get away from the weather. The food is a little overpriced, but one gets the feeling you are paying to sit down more than you are paying for top quality food.
