all i can say is wow!!!

i was like a little kid....i kept saying look theres an Andy Warhol...omg look a Kandinsky Very Happy

I saw Monet, Matisse, Klimt....and Degas

and there is so much there, lots of different media and exhibitions

when you go into the main entrance there are turbines...tubes that you can slide down Shocked

they looked scary though, really high up. but there is a smaller one for kids

well worth a visit, fantastic building too, so much to see

Lucky you glad you had a good day. When I went to Amsterdam I went back to look at the 'Night Watch' five times.

you can look all the time in books and on the net, but seeing them in real life is so much better

and some of the work is so 'different'

I agree I wasn't that impressed with Van Gogh's Sunflowers it was much smaller than I expected but some of the other work and his Irises were fabulous.
