Arts & Culture
This is a well organized art gallery, the main collection divided into three main sections: European Art from the 14th-18th centuries, Nordic Art from the 18th-19th centuries, and Modern Art from the 20th century. The historic building has a new section at the back to hold the modern art. The collection has some nice highlights - Rubens, Bruegel, Matisse, Munch, Modigliani. You have to leave your bags in lockers in the basement (these are free). There's a good cafe underneath the modern wing, though it's quite expensive. You're given a badge at the entrance so you can come and go throughout the day without problems.
