We didn't see the Santa Barbara collection. But the mine was verry Nice. It is the trip down worth.

O guia foi super simpático e levou-nos através de espaços mágicos. Adorámos a exposição de santa Bárbara e das pinturas na sua vida inspiradas, Os traços das pinturas lembram os desenhos de Grosz. Infelizmente, as fotos que tirámos não ficaram apresentável...
