What visitors say
The buildings are beautiful and there're many exhibition. We went there only one hour before closing (closed at 4pm on Sunday), and didn't get the chance to o finish it. We will definitely go back again.
Nice exhibits, free admission with one ticketed. Cafe had great options: burgers, soup, drinks. Outdoor paths with art and a good amount of women artists represented.
Fantastic experience. Calm, inviting, warm museum. The new construction and additions were very much worth the wait. A must to try the food too, hidden gems.
