Modern Art Museum — Local services in Aubusson

The museum is very interesting, explains very well the history of the collection and shows a high quality collection in general. Absolutely worth. I felt it was 5/5 till the moment of exit. Though at the very end the Museum left many people dissatisfied today. The Museum is closing at 17:00, so at 16:50 about 20 visitors were checking the Museum’s shop for souvenirs and memories, some of them have choosen posters, postcards or were checking books, but the museum workers told that the museum cashier desk is already closed.
