Within this art nouveau red brick building, the masterpieces of both the established old timers and fresh kids on the block are proudly displayed. The very first exhibit was “A photographer’s life” by the renowned Annie Leibovitz, and Nick Brandt’s “On This Earth, a shadow falls, is by far one of the most popular displays. However, this museum has an extra kick in another form of art: conscious cuisine.

Depending on the season, ingredients that are at their prime are sourced and utilised to craft appetizing meals that satisfy your taste buds while taking care of our planet at the same time. Only sustainable cooking is allowed, so dine guilt free and pleasure plenty on these toothsome delights. Give your eyes and mouth a treat at this chic centre for the new age.
