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.

Beckov Castle

The Beckov castle stands on a steep 50 m tall rock in the village Beckov. The dominance of the rock and impression of invincibility it gaves, challenged our ancestors to make use of these assets. The result is a remarkable harmony between the natural setting and architecture.

The castle first mentioned in 1200 was originally owned by the King and later, at the end of the 13th century it fell in hands of Matúš Èák. Its owners alternated - at the end of the 14th century the family of Stibor of Stiborice bought it.

The next owners, the Bánffys who adapted the Gothic castle to the Renaissance residence, improved its fortifications preventing the Turks from conquering it at the end of the 16th century. When Bánffys died out, the castle was owned by several noble families. It fell in decay after fire in 1729.

The history of the castle is the subject of different legends.
