First off, it's worth going just to see the building which is a refurbished warehouse, it is stunning and an art work in its own right. The exhibits are more variable and much down to personal taste. Some we liked, some ok and some, sorry I'm not with you....We stayed a couple of hours and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Its an easy walk from the centre of town and worth a visit.

Contemporary art is always very decisive, but I struggled to see the point ofbhow the huge amount if floor space in this amaz8ng building was used. After visiting the Guggenheim this was very disappointing but I realise its a different experience. The most interesting part for us was actually the photographs expo on the 2nd floor and the wonderful man who was in duty there who showed us how to find the English explanations. We were lucky that when we visited it was a free entry day (1st Sunday of each month) . If we had paid to enter I would have been even more disappointed. Very nice cafe on the top floor and a lovely building but the exhibits are really not correct.

Fantastic building (5 stars—old warehouse) and reasonable ticket price. Location near Quinconces (the giant plaza and transit transfer station) and the river front is convenient, and the neighborhood is classic old Bordeaux in appearance (light yellow limestone building of a French neoclassical style) and uses (cafes, shops, etc.). As for the content, The best thing was the architecture wing (upper level): 4 stars for a large, broad exhibition on the art & architecture of Disney; 2 stars for a small exhibition on a quarry reuse in China. The “Art” on display (street level) was an embarrassing bad joke, even by the low hit-or-miss standards of contemporary art. Zero star for a huge pointless scattered-found object installation occupying the entirety of the museum’s Great Hall; 2 stars for a modest gauze-over-geometric forms show in side gallery. Zero star for the piled-up-rocks “installation” on the roof terrasse.
