Medieval sculpture and early Italian panels downstairs, contemporary art upstairs, in a 1995 landmark building.
The collection splits cleanly in two and both halves are good: a small, serious group of early Italian and Netherlandish paintings and medieval woodcarving, then a contemporary programme that takes real risks. Rossi's building does the linking, with a long staircase running up the middle of the cupola that is worth climbing whether or not anything is hanging in it. It is on the Wyck side of the river, ten minutes from the Sint Servaasbrug.
Highlights
- Aldo Rossi's cupola
