    If you are an art enthusiast, or even if your just the drag-along friend this is an amazing experience. Some of the art one can only describe in terms of "pretty colours" others are a little more comprehensive. But that is the world of contemporary art. You see what you want to see, or in some cases what you need to see in the art. The tours meet every level of need and the gallery is spacious, disability accessible, and provides a great place for a rest and a cup of tea or coffee. The cost is around 7 Euro's and worth every cent.

The lit sign boards indicate where each train is coming from and going to. It was a challenge to figure out which came first the to or the fro. Eventually we just picked one with the …
