That's how my partner and I felt while trying to enjoy the art and also while trying to use the restroom before leaving. The museum was quite empty, but one of the guards was literally breathing down my neck, standing 50 cm from me, staring at me directly the whole time while I was looking at a painting. And he followed our every step through the whole exhibit. There was an older couple there too, but the guards didn't harass them at all, they were free to look around in peace. The museum is open until 20:00. We were already hurrying to leave at 19:50, but decided to quickly use the restroom before leaving. One of the female guards followed me into the restroom, stood there waiting for me, staring at me while I washed my hands, etc. Like I was going to steal their toilet paper or something??? We look like normal young modern couple, well dressed, extremely well behaved and everything. I can't understand WHY they treated us like we were going to do something or steal something, following every step we made, EVEN TO THE BATHROOM!! Absolutely...
