I don't have a lot of information about the paintings because we're in a hurry. They said that the museum is reserved for students who are in a educational trip that morning. Sadly we're told that the other artwork are being transferred because of the ongoing renovations. But I have captured some photos of sculptures in the Old Session Hall.
