My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed the morning we spent at this museum. The Girard collection is amazing! We also loved the Amish quilts.

Loved the Neutragena wing, with the little figurines depicting life in different cultures. Other areas were closed. Also an interactive room depicting how aids has effected lives around the globe
