The largest "Art" museum we visited, virtually a whole day was spent there, so much to see. It was almost empty of people. All the great names in Contemporary art were there.

Bahnhof: because it is a converted Railway Station. My oh my, dont they make delightful Galleries?.. this one is equal to the Museum D'Orsay in many ways.

There was also a special exhibition taking place: VISIO which was a series of installations
