Beautiful museum and I get why you can only see 5 rooms (out of 11), as there is sooo much to see. Worth a come back. The castle is beautiful, too. The only thing I was sad about is that we had to wait for 2 people who came late... and that was the time I didn't have at the end to see the gardens as, I had to leave for another tour.”
