Meta review

Not many mentions on travel blogs and online reviews aren't exactly glowing. Visitors do like the building and don't challenge its use as a contemporary art centre, but are mostly disappointed by the contents; "absurd" is an adjective that seems popular. In addition, many reviewers note that it is a little far to walk from the city centre so probably best kept as a back-up cultural option when it rains...

Environmental & Social

No environnemental data available but thumbs up for the repurposing of the building and making the venue available to regional artists.

Conclusion

Our advice is to look at the picture of the venue and, if the building is of interest, then it is worth a visit whether you enjoy the content or not. If not, then only go if you are a fan of contemporary art.

Key positive

Impressive building complex

Low entrance fee

Key negative

Permanent collection and exhibitions unlikely to impress

Suitability

Accessible for visitors with reduced mobility by lift. Best for adults and children aged 15 and above
