My Second time at the Museum, unfurtunate it didnt hold the good experience from the First time.

At the opening door was fairly noted that the terrace was closed wich is allready a bummer.

The Exibition itself is Sure depending in taste and overall likings but a bit too flat for me. Or if you Like two floors of consisting of Numbers and Letters Like at a Eye Test, Go for it.

The interaktive Part this time was Missing a Lot of its Charm and not all floors wich those who where opened used its full space they had..

But the sadest Part was the 3rd floor! Please, never let art pieces standing there unwrapped hidden behind doors and windows there wich you will see a bit but dont get the chance to come close to them. Very frustrating and to be honest on that visit i only spend 60 min there wich was allready stretched for 20 min swinging...

I dont blame the staff but please tell it at the entrance or at least make every Ticket the reduced ones. Maybe reconsider your concepts, otherwise i cant recomend it nowdays, even if the building itself is...

The only interesting part was the building itself, which could serve a better purpose though.

If you’re curious, I’d recommend going on Wednesday when the entrance is free. Otherwise, it’s hard to justify spending time...
