Wonderful place that shows wonderful examples of Spanish Art, they often have special events (they even hold Tango classes here). I wish that more elementary school's would take their students here! And, I wish that a lower-priced restaurant option existed for the many that can't afford the high high priced spot here. Art is not just for the rich, MAPR. More

The building and gardens were wonderful, the art on display kept me mesmerised for three hours, but it was the willingness and knowledge of the museum staff that made my visit truly enjoyable. More
