The stars are for the gallery itself since it is in a gorgeous building and for the artwork. The subtraction is for the guy in the building at the time. I went in to view the artwork, and was the only one in there at the time. The guy did say "hello" and that was it. I noticed towards the back that there is a sign that says 'more artwork in the stairwell' which I could clearly see.

Read moreMy family and I visited Simon Bulls Art Gallery and I want say we enjoyed the rich history of all the paintings.

Before we could get a word out he said I should read the small sign on the door that says they opened at 11:30 this day. He said I disturbed his corporate meeting and I was rude.
