O
Rýchle fakty: More than 12,000 artworks span everything from illuminated manuscripts to bold contemporary installations, so you can jump centuries between rooms. An active calendar frequently lists around 200 events annually, from artist talks to hands-on workshops, keeping visits lively beyond the quiet galleries.
Zaujímavosti: A sunlit rotunda reveals subtle color shifts on a 19th-century painting around 4 PM, when warm light makes varnish shimmer and tiny brushstrokes pop like fingerprints. Evenings feature intimate, low-noise programs where as few as 30 people sketch while a curator reads collectors' letters, turning visual study into a soft, spoken history.
