Trevligt museum med intressant konstnär - kaffe och tre sorters kakor rekommenderas i break mellan visningarna.

Trevligt ateljémuseum med en intressant konstnär. Även en ok utställning med konst från studentnationerna. Trevlig och engagerad personal. Pyssel hörna för barnen. Enkelt kafé med bra priser och gott bröd, man kan sitta på den trevliga innergården.

Spännande museum. Missa inte det när du besöker Uppsala. Även bra café med uteplatser på sommaren.

To move around in the artist's house, atelier and see so many of the works up close is a treat. Great staff adds to the experience and for an art museum it's very family friendly.

Tillfällig utställning av Ilon Wiklands illustrationer (Ronja, Karlsson, Bråkmakargatan, Lejonhjärta m.fl). Jag tror att för alla som tycker om hennes stil är denna utställning väldigt inspirerande.

Trepucó Talayotic Settlement

The settlement of Trepucó is one of the largest on Menorca, covering an area of around 49,240 square metres. Today, only a small part of the site can still be seen, the two oldest buildings, the talaiots (1000-700 BCE). Other remains include parts of the wall, two square towers on the west wall, the taula enclosure and traces of dwellings from the post-Talayotic period (650-123 BCE).The taula enclosure is one of the biggest on the island, despite having been subjected to what, by today’s standards, would be considered clumsy restoration work. This is one of the sites excavated around 1930 by Margaret Murray, a British archaeologist who was a pioneer of scientific research on Prehistoric Menorca.

The houses are perfectly visible on the west side of the settlement, due to excavation work carried out several years ago. They are multi-lobed with a central patio area and several rooms arranged around the outside. Looking at the settlement, it is easy to see that there was a clear division between the communal area (between the large talaiot and the taula) and the domestic area.The houses near the smaller talaiot seem to have been abandoned at short notice, meaning that the archaeological dig uncovered exceptionally well-preserved domestic implements, now on display in the Museum of Menorca.The larger talayot and the taula stand at the centre of a star-shaped fortification built during the 18th century.
