I definitely recommend this attraction for a person who loves to see the arts. This museum has it ALL. Everything from contemporary art to art from the renaissance era. It was absolutely worth my money and time!

Most of the museum is free and will fill most of your day if you take your time to appreciate what is there. There are also several traveling galleries for a fee.

We visited the museum and found it to be spacious, well laid-out, and very interesting. I'm not sure if parking is normally easy, but we parked at a street meter right across from the museum. There may be a cheaper way to park, but we appreciated the convenience of street parking.

I arrived 20 minutes before closing time, and the whole time I was in the gallery, the staff were telling me that the gallery was closing soon and were trying to get me to leave. The galleries closed prior to the 5pm closing time, and so did the bookstore. I have never seen staff so keen to leave. If you... More

Enjoyed this gem immensely. Beautifully laid out, the best staff I have ever encountered in a museum, fun gift shop, wonderful outdoor sculpture areas, and admission is FREE. A must see.

Second time I've seen her exhibition. The first was in LA. We saw some new photos this time around. It was worth the time to go.
