Great free visit. Even though the door was locked, I was able to get in via underground.
It must be time consuming to clean the darn thing.

Beautiful collection of artwork displayed in a home that is artwork in its own right. We had the place to ourselves on a Saturday afternoon. Another great spot for art lovers to explore in the city.
