The photos of this museum suggest that it is quite small, but the tower is just a small part. It is divided into two parts with traditional dutch artists on the lower level - this is a fascinating...

Great museum with a plethora of art showcased, a gift shop, and a nice restaurant. It is worth noticing that its focus is on contemporary art. I truly enjoyed the few hours I spent there, as well as their food. We visited in the afternoon of a weekday during summer vacation and it wasn't cramped at all.

This is not a museum for everyone, but everyone should give it a try. It's not a museum for kids as they would not understand most of it and probably not enjoy— but you can still try. Bonnefanten is a museum that displays a few exhibitions of contemporary art per time. This time there were an exhibition of comparative art, one on a Indonesian performance artist and one a contemporary "portrait" artist. The museum has also a permanent collection. It is worth a visit to have a grasp of what art means today and what doesn't mean anymore. Also the architecture of the building is a reason to go to bonnefanten museum at least one time.
