What a gem - just the right size! We found a new Monet, explored the art of Japan, saw what life would be like on the edge... and had an amazing lunch in the winter garden (popcorn is to die for). worth a drive - really nice collection - nice staff.
this hidden gem is just the right size to enjoy in a day. not overwhelming, and filled with terrific examples across many genres. a true gem.
