Travelled up to the museum from the Old Town on the 38 bus, greeted by friendly staff at the museum. Wasn’t too sure what to expect. There is currently a Maurice Denis exhibition showing examples of his work and exploring his life in the 1920s which was well worth the visit. Again we used the museum pass.
