I feel lucky to have a first class museum so close to my home and my college. I send my students there to do term papers and am frequently amazed by the quality of art they get to see. It is worth a trip if only to see Van Gogh's Night Cafe. More

Extraordinary building(s) offer an insight into those things that are 'built' as well as created. We are changed by the process of entering any of the spaces in addition to the exhibits of sculpture or paintings or drawings or any media. The renovations are as compelling as the collections.
