The museum is small and contains a few very solid pieces from 4 centuries of noteworthy artists. It is easy to find and easy to get around. However, the collection is not extensive and many pieces, even ones by masters, are unremarkable. It is a good visit as an introduction to fine art but might be disappointing to those who... More

Note that an art museum is best appreciated if you don't bring along persons that have no interest in art. We thought this museum was a bit pricey considering its small size. There was a wide variety of items, but only a small number of pieces for each period. When we went, a touring Egypt exhibit and a Russian B&W... More

Wonderful permanent collection of art, artifacts and sculpture housed in a building that is a work of art itself! Easy to find and can be seen in a few hours. Truly great pieces of work (paintings, sculpture, pottery, glass, antique furniture and so on) from a variety of "schools". All are displayed for maximum enjoyment and accessability. During my visit... More
