Very tiny so there’s not much to see. When I went there were 3 artists being displayed & you can see everything within 30 minutes. I wish there was more detail given for each piece. I think it’s fun to visit during free days but I wouldn’t pay to go. The front desk staff were very friendly but my son got yelled at for touching the art when he wasn’t. He was pointing at a cool detail on a sculpture to show me & when I told the worker he wasn’t touching anything, & just pointing she just glared at me and walked away.

This museum is just the right size for a one day 1-2 hour visit. You can see everything but not feel like your brain is at max capacity. Very knowledgeable and friendly docents. I learned that museum changes the collection regularly, so will definitely put it in my notes for repeat visits.

Small gallery, there were 3 different presentations in 3 distinct areas.
Well done

Two floors with three exhibition areas and a rooftop area with seating to reflect. No dedicated parking lot but there is paid street parking.

The exhibition layout was pretty basic but clean and organized. Staff was very friendly and engaging. The current Teddy Sandoval exhibit was extensive amd provocative. It was surprising to see that he dabbled in other mediums.

I enjoyed the open area on the second floor, allowing each artist work to shine in its own space. You may take the elevator or stairs up to the third floor for some fresh air. It's a decent view with tables and a smaller over look area.

Very tiny gift shop area.

Free admission for NARM members.
