Beautiful building, amazing geometric shapes, peaceful inside perhaps it was just the time of year I was there, February. Mesmerising to watch the building from the street at night the way the colours flow are dance into each other is fabulous. Didn't pay to do any tour just wandered in at no charge and walked around taking it all in, even ate our packed lunches upstairs looking out at eh city as there are plenty of sofas and places to rest. Worth a visit for sure!
