== Temporary Exhibition ==
[T.B.D.]
== Plan ==
We will meet at the square near the [ French Coffee Shop ] between 13:30->13:45 . At 13:50, we will begin to walk towards the museum (about 10-12 minutes walk).
Temporary exhibit will be normally in the Annex building (Accessible via the Courtyard); normally visit this first.
Stay as briefly or as long as you want; it is an series of expansive and voluminous buildings with many exhibits.
Don't forget to visit the gift shop at the end of tour; the museum might be free, but you should buy a postcard to support them! Send it to your mom (or someone else's mom! )
After existing the Museum, there are beautiful garden grounds to enjoy outdoors within the courtyard.
Schedule NOTE: This Museum doesn't open doors until 14:00 on Sunday/Dimanche, so this event starts ~15 later than normal.
