아판디의 그림을 보며 그가 살아온 삶을 느낄 수 있었다. 아판디의 자녀, 아내, 손자의 그림도 좋았다. 가이드 분이 따라오면서 영어로 아주 잘 설명해주셨다. 예술에 관심이 크지 않은 사람도 가볼 만한 곳이다. 기념품 연필도 주고 음료수 쿠폰도 주며, 안의 식당도 가성비 최고였다. 전반적으로 만족한다. more »

Oh look he has lived a picture of van Dee could feel the lives. Ah van d's children, wife, grandson and also a picture of good. The guide explains very well in English, came upon a minute. Not big people interested in art is well worth a visit. Souvenir pencil give beverage coupon, too, and also within the caustic rain was the best. Overall satisfaction.

I visited the museum in 2011 and 2015, and now i have the chance to visit the restaurant called Pronto Steak and Pasta. The museum is a pretty good place to explore and enhance your knowledge about art, and it offers free guide so you can understand each painting interpretations. While the restaurant has decent food that are served pretty quickly (so the guests dont have to wait long to enjoy their dish). The staffs on museum and restaurant are all helpful and nice, i love this place so much 😊

Explore it yourself kind of museum, though if you ask, they could provide a tour guide to accompany you. The Affandi family's section is pretty awesome on its own.
