    Boring for those who don´t like Modern Artby Yahoo | 2005-06-05 22:02:07 |

    Modern art is just weird to me, and a lot of the collection was very strange and I just found it not very interesting. Abstract art just doesn´t make sense to me. For example the kid like paintings in one of the displays. They do have some Picasso´s though, which of course is cool. The atmosphere was nice and museumy though. If you like abstract modernist art then you´d probably enjoy it.
