Reviews

Great place to understand how the construction of copper brass materials to create large sculptures thay look life like Some of the pieces are enormous. Highly recommend and it is free ! There is a nice cafe on the Terrace level and you can sit and have coffee or just relax enjoy the garden on the first floor.
