    Beautiful, unique architecture and a fantastic collection of Central and South American contemporary art (among many other good exhibitions). Discovered some new favorites here.

    The exhibits were spectacular and out of this world_ particularly the Mayan exhibit and the cathedral connected to the outside. Just brilliant works of art

    Beautiful space, entrance fee is $12 per adult + they have free tours(highly recommend). Museum space is not big but they have put together wonderful exhibitions! Everyone is very friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend for visit!P.S. it was hard to find the space to park with the current construction in the area, I wish there were more signs as we made couple loops on search of a space.

    100% worth the visit. This space has something for everyone… from European collections, to Modern & Contemporary, or even (my personal favorites) 1,600+ drawings and sketches! Just enough exhibits to keep you busy for a few hours, but not overwhelming.Good to Knows- No Bags, Backpacks or Beverages… they will provide you with a locker to store your belongings while you explore!- Construction… you have to pay *extra* attention to find the entrance. Signage wasn’t totally clear. But excited for the big reveal in 2023!

    Cute local art museum. Pretty quick walk through. Can do it in about 2 hours and still see everything. A mix of old and new with the art separated out into regions and eras.Free on Thursdays!! And discounted parking at the college garage next door. Don’t mind the construction, it’s temporary and the grounds will be so beautiful when finished.Here are some of my favorite pieces that were on display during my visit!
