“Nice half day trip”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 6, 2012

The museum is well organized, with rotating exhibitions. One of the main attractions is the Rodin sculpture garden right next door. There's a nice little cafe overlooking the sculpture garden which is perfect for a light lunch or coffee. It's a really nice day trip if you want to see the Stanford campus as well as the museum.
