They have a great collection of art and artifacts but if you have already been to the Louvre in Paris, do not come with the same expectation. This probably would be less than tenth the size of it.
For me it was a pretty interesting museum, although I went with a huge expectation. Some of the collections reminded me of my visit to other museums, the ones in Europe and other middle eastern countries.
When we were visiting it, there were like hundreds of super cars parked at their parking lot. Not sure if it was a daily or weekly event but it was fun to watch so many big, pretty machines together.Nele Lenze

If you like ancient treasures stolen by Europeans but you do find the hassle of going through the Schengen visa process tiering, I know just the right place for you. This is an awesome museum and it really exhibits a beautiful selection of treasures from all around the world. It uses all the most modern museum technology and explains a lot. You can also rent an audio guide if you like to know more. There is also tons of contemporary art to see. The museum is open any day of the week from 10AM to 10PM except of Mondays.Comments
