The museum is quite small and when we visited the ground floor was closed in preparation for the new exhibit. All the viewable art works were on the first floor. We took the stairs but there is a lift for those that need it.

It was a small but varied collection. They also had a video documentary featuring Carlo Bilotti and his wife talking about their collection.

It won't take long to visit. I think we were only in there for less than 15 minutes and we saw it all. That said, it was interesting and given that it's completely free of charge it's worth it if you like art.
