Very nice and well maintained museum, of course the exhibition isn't enormous but definitely worth a visit. The light for photos inside was awesome ?

Great museum, went three times during my studies in Bordeaux. Each time I went, there were always new pieces. Never too crowded. Friendly helpful staff. Titles of pieces in French and English.

We visited the museum with CityPass. 1h30 is enough to walk around and the garden is nice to stay a bit longer in sunny days.

Nice small museum of fine arts. I visited the modern section and it was a lovely size, with a decent collection of modern art including photography, sculpture and paintings. The grounds are delightful so bring a sandwich if you have time and relax on your visit. Audio guide available for 2.5 euro

This museum has a lovely garden and a fantastic collection of fine arts. I'd definitely recommend stopping by. Although you can find a lot of the art on display online nothing beats seeing it in person.

Argos Theater

The ancient Argos Theater was built in 320 BC. and is located in Argos, Greece against Larissa Hill. Nearby from this site is Agora, Roman Odeon, and the Baths of Argos. The theater is one of the largest architectural developments in Greece and was renovated in ca 120 AD.

The Hellenistic theater at Argos is cut into the hillside of the Larisa, with 90 steps up a steep incline, forming a narrow rectilinear cavea. Among the largest theaters in Greece, it held about 20,000 spectators and is divided by two landings into three horizontal sections. Staircases further divide the cavea into four cunei, corresponding to the tribes of Argos A high wall was erected to prevent unauthorized access into the theatron and may have helped the acoustics, but it is said the sound quality is still very good today.

Around 120 CE, both theaters were renovated in the Roman style.
