A wonderful museum. I felt very comfortable there. It would be nice if the artist whose work is displayed in the corridor were introduced. I really enjoyed those paintings! The museum shop is well-stocked. A walk to the lake would be great!

GEM is probably the most wonderful museum I've ever seen in my life. Inside the museum, it's immense and the rooms are very spacious. All the exhibited pieces are magnificent and extremely well displayed.
