    The museum is decent, if somewhat disappointing. The layout was confusing at times. The odd thing is that certain floors require a mid-day siesta, so they're closed for an hour or two. The website...

    Lots of good to very good works that get lost between the rooms in this huge building. I did not like the way the works were organized. Almost nothing is translated to english.

  • By Issa Khorrassany
    This museum definitely worth a visit. From modern paintings to ancient Egyptian mummies. Consider spending minimum 3 to 4 hours. I recommend getting an audio guide which makes things easy as they don't have any labels in English or other language then French. You can easily get lost here as its huge.

    Well laid out and spacious. Too much to see in a couple of hours, but the ticket allows to come back later on the same day. The lighting could be improved a bit on some paintings as the frame casts a bit if a shadow.
