Why it is worth the trip
- A collection strong enough to draw visitors from outside the region, shown in generous, quiet space.
- Architecture treated as artwork — light, concrete, water and landscape used deliberately.
- Installations and outdoor works you can walk around, photograph, and sometimes step inside.
What you can do here
- Start with the permanent collection, then decide how much time the special exhibition deserves.
- Walk the outdoor sculpture area — often free and open longer than the galleries.
- Sit in the museum café or library; both are usually designed as part of the visit.
- Check the shop for artist editions and design goods you will not find elsewhere.
