  "Surprisingly interesting to all"
  "A little background info; I did not visit the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum until a college art course I was in took a field trip here. I would not have considered coming here otherwise, as when I hear "art museum", I generally just envision old paintings and pictures. This course was a couple m..."onths ago, and it changed my perception of this Museum and other art museums. At the time, there was an amazing set of origami throughout the Museum.

  "Great little gem of a museum"
