Is MAAT (Museum of Art, Architecture & Technology) worth it for photographers?

Worth itFor photos

For beauty & photography, MAAT (Museum of Art, Architecture & Technology) delivers.

The building is the headline — a curving tiled roof you can walk up for river-and-bridge views, free to climb even without a ticket. The catch: the rotating contemporary-art shows inside are hit-or-miss, so check what's on; some find the interior thin for the price. Strong for architecture and design lovers, skippable for everyone else.
