I went there to work in the weekday. It was quite comfortable, it’s warm and tables are free and well equipped. Just in the section near the stairs that goes to second story of the library, the outlets didn’t work but maybe they solved the problem.

Sometimes it can be a bit noisy since it’s a semi-open space and people come to take pictures around the gallery space.

It’s a plus that they have a cafe which serves coffee and toasts if you want to have a snack during work time.

I like how it feels to work there. I feel mysterious and up to a secret mission or something.

This place is a historic building + art gallery + museum + library + music store + cafe shop + cafeteria + bar + workshops + auditorium. The natural lighting inside the building is very beautiful and stunning. People come here to take photos of themselves within the corridors of this building and its colorful lighting. The museum wasn’t that interesting to me. The entrance is for free.
