"Este lugar fue una sorpresa total, además del maravilloso edificio histórico del año 1600, hay dentro una colección de artistas tan talentosos con pintura figurativa realista y, a veces, hiperrealista para ser realmente sorprendente. ¡Después de más de tres horas dentro, todavía podía encontrar obras de arte en la entrada de los baños! Aseos (limpios) que puedes encontrar en diferentes plantas con diferentes obras de arte en su interior. Qué tarde de asombro pasé. AF recomendado."
