Google Reviews
Fuimos un sábado en el horario gratuito sobre las 19:00 horas, la verdad es que me gustó mucho. El cuadro más famoso de Picasso, la Guernica estaba abarrotado de gente. Por otro lado, los baños muy limpios y el personal bien. No tienen folletos, puedes pillar audioguías en la entrada.
Mi queja no es con el museo per se. El museo está bien y las instalaciones estan bien cuidadas. Mi queja es con los ascensores, mantenidos por Fain, me subí en 3 de ellos y las puertas automáticas todas chirrían y el ascensor tiene ruidos en trayecto, en un sitio tan concurrido no se puede llevar un mantenimiento tan malo. Son unos ascensores panoramicos preciosos de los cuales puedes ver hasta el cuarto de máquinas en la vidriera del exterior. Deberían tener más respeto control sobre el mantenimiento que hacen para no dejar en mal lugar al propio museo. Foto del Guernika, por cierto.
Excelente museo, es muy grande y necesitarás varias horas para recorrerlo. Con tu entrada puedes salir y volver a entrar el mismo día, por si necesitas salir a almorzar y luego regresar, es buen detalle. Hay varias obras muy famosas pero yo disfruté conocer sobre Maruja Mallo, me encantaron sus obras, la manera en la que las ordenaron y los datos sobre su vida. Siempre hay algo nuevo que aprender en cada ida al museo.
