The Museum of Modern Art went straight in right near the top of the best museums i've been to! So many famous artworks i've been dying to see, and a great collection all round too. Seeing Van Gogh's Starry Night and one of Monet's huge waterlillies was the absolute highlight of my trip.

Beautiful gallery, I love indian art work and the collection here is great, if a little quirky at times, as with all contemporary art galleries! My favourite was the exhibition of aditi's work, called let it be a heaven of blackened roses.

This beautifully restored castle was the perfect stopover for us, some culture and some delicious food are to be found within its magnificent walls. A great mix of modern paintings and sculptures are the highlight though edspite the building trying its best to upstage the collection.

In my mind this is one of the best art museums in the world, I just love their collection, with modern art downstairs and oriental art upstairs. And it's all housed in a marble palace! Definitely one not to miss next time you go.

I love this place, and each time I go back to it I love it a little more. From the first glimpse of the crazy exterior I know it's going to be exciting. This time there was an awesome Gabriel Orozco exhibition, and his work was amazing. It's so fun not to know what you'll see, as well as knowing about all the fabulous stuff in the permanent collection, I like to spend lots of time with kandinsky.
