Buying tickets was easy. The wait to get into the exhibition was a bit long (15 minutes after we arrived...) It's a shame there weren't more paintings by Matisse

The site is magnificent, which makes the exhibition truly spectacular. I loved it, but if we want to enhance that feeling of being immersed in the painting, we should have more benches in the center of the pools. There are bleachers, but they don’t make the exhibition feel quite as powerful.

Intense and strong experience. I have never Come so close to these masterpieces and how the artists life experiences affected and inspired their art. Sometimes the paintings came to life on front of my eyes.

Such a beautiful peaceful experience. The exhibit experience is made more powerful by the contrast of its location - in the bowels of a time of war and destruction. The juxtaposition of the art, joy and peace of Matisse with the hidden power of occupation and destruction gives the exhibit impact of emotion and awe. The refection of the art into calm waters is very effective to remind the Viewer of the surroundings. The walls of the bunker for the exhibit highlight the nature of art and war.
