The building itself, with its grand neo-classical architecture, adds to the overall experience. The museum's location in the cultural heart of Gothenburg, near other attractions, is also seen as a plus.

    While most visitors find the collection impressive, some note that the museum is not as large as some might expect, which can be seen as both a positive (easily manageable in a few hours) and a negative (leaving some wanting more). A few reviewers mention that some areas of the museum could benefit from improved lighting to better showcase the artworks.
