I didn't expect it to be quite so. Well. PERFECT! The audio commentary is a must and well worth the $7 since you can turn it on easily to any numbered portrait you feel inclined to hear about and the repeat if you get distracted. There was a wonderful poem about a man smoking a cigar that I tried to memorize but could not! Ah lost youth! The restrictions on photography kept the crowds from distracting flashes and chatter on cell phones. NO ELECTRONIC DEVICES ALLOWED! Polite yet burly hosts inform guests of such rules with appropriate tact. I was amazed at how close we were allowed to be to these magnificent paintings. I worried too! What if there is an earthquake?? Are they safe? I would go see them if I were you just in case... I was pleasantly surprised! I didn’t expect it to be quite so. Well. PERFECT!
