Very nice and well maintained museum, of course the exhibition isn't enormous but definitely worth a visit. The light for photos inside was awesome ?

Great museum, went three times during my studies in Bordeaux. Each time I went, there were always new pieces. Never too crowded. Friendly helpful staff. Titles of pieces in French and English.

We visited the museum with CityPass. 1h30 is enough to walk around and the garden is nice to stay a bit longer in sunny days.

Nice small museum of fine arts. I visited the modern section and it was a lovely size, with a decent collection of modern art including photography, sculpture and paintings. The grounds are delightful so bring a sandwich if you have time and relax on your visit. Audio guide available for 2.5 euro

This museum has a lovely garden and a fantastic collection of fine arts. I'd definitely recommend stopping by. Although you can find a lot of the art on display online nothing beats seeing it in person.

Inverness Castle

Inverness Castle sits on a cliff overlooking the River Ness. The red sandstone structure evident today was built in 1836 by architect William Burn. It is built on the site of an 11th-century (c. 1057) defensive structure. Today, it houses Inverness Sheriff Court.

The castle is said to have been built by Máel Coluim III of Scotland, after he had razed to the ground the castle in which Macbeth of Scotland according to much later tradition, murdered Máel Coluim"s father Donnchad I of Scotland, and which stood on a hill around 1 km to the north-east.

The first Inverness Castle was partially destroyed by King Robert I of Scotland and a replacement castle was sacked in the 15th century by the Clan Donald during the Siege of Inverness (1429). The castle was occupied during the Raid on Ross in 1491.

In 1548 another castle with tower was completed by George Gordon, 4th Earl of Huntly (1514–1562). He was constable of the castle until 1562.
