My brother and I visited on a Monday afternoon during tourist season and were the only visitors. I love this place. Many contemporary paintings and work from the last few decades that I thought was excellent. Very pleasant woman steered us through at our own pace. They sell some good books with excellent reproductions and some small ceramics. Very low key. It was 5000 soms to enter, 10000 if you want to take photos (50cents to a dollar!).
