I visited today with my adult daughter. We saw the Turner exhibition, which was good, but we spent most of the time at the Santiago Yahuarcani display. This was beyond awesome. Hard to categorize or describe. But completely unique, inspiring and thought provoking. Amazing work. Went to the cafe twice, really very good food and pleasant staff throughout the gallery. Thoroughly recommend.

Super nice art gallery for free! It is not directly in the city center,but you can easily get there by bus. Highly recommend this place - the building itself(in architectural way) and beautiful garden with a lot of wild squirrel, nice exhibition and cute gallery shop🤩

such a quite experience on a Friday afternoon, entry is free and they have a lovely gift shop+cafe at the back which overlooks the park. I enjoyed looking at a range of art and will definitely be back for the next exhibition!

Before I leave home,I checked if booking needed, no need. Got there about 10.30. quite busy but ok. Just look for the exhibitions, would go another day for more. Performing trees, exploring the changing role of trees in art. Next exhibition the beginning of knowledge, completely different,but interesting. The next exhibition: making the 250th anniversary of the artists birth. As expected excellent.
