It is a special experience for people who enjoy photography, design or contemporary art and want to add a visual layer to their trip. Take advantage of morning or late-afternoon light to appreciate the outdoor spaces, and check whether the visit includes the art areas or whether they must be requested separately, since they are not always open to every group.
