Lonely Planet review

This progressive and often provocative museum was built in 1990 to a design by Swiss architect Mario Botta. Exhibits are always cutting-edge and sometimes arty-farty - think push-the-envelope photos by Larry Clark, or vacuum-cleaner ballets choreographed by visiting Scandinavians. There's an excellent art bookshop called On Sundays (03 3470 1424; hours vary) where you can browse through its enormous collection of obscure postcards.
