It is a mixture of history, art, nature and other stuff. We spend over two hours in this exhibition and enjoyed our time very much. Highlights are the Spitfire under the roof, Dali painting, Scottish painters, sculpture „Motherless“

The Linda McCartney Retrospective was fabulous! Also, enjoyed the organ music they apparently have every day in the afternoon. The Cafe has some good vegan choices.
