What people are saying:
I have to admit: my experience in art museums is not very extensive. Okay, so it didn't exist before, except for being with a friend who dragged me to this place, I didn't have much expectations for this trip. :>But...her instinct is right. Barnes is an art gallery where even an "ordinary person" can get a lot in a few hours of wandering. The layout and display made things much more interesting than I thought. It made me feel that not only did I have a good time, but that what I learned in that afternoon was more semester than what I learned in the entire two universities Art class! I can't compare with others, but it's hard to imagine any place better than Barnes!

The Oliewenhuis Art Museum was built in 1941 and is a new Dutch style building. There are extraordinary works of art from South Africa, and there are usually contemporary art exhibitions.
It is entirely European art, Dutch works.
There is a pavilion which is as interesting as a maze
A great local art museum, not only let me appreciate the local art of South America, but also let me feel a lot of local culture.
