    Small with Interesting Exhibits

    We visited last weekend before the new 3rd floor exhibit opened. We really enjoyed the atrium exhibit and the 5th floor art produced by children at local hospitals. This is a small museum and great escape for an hour from the summer heat.

    They are currently renovating and only the 2nd floor is open. Fifth floor is open but it is an educational children's art camp-class. There is a David Bowie painting and a small Yoko Ono piece. Friendly staff .

    A Gem of a Museum

    This is a great museum which we stumbled onto purely by accident while wandering. It is very inexpensive, large enough to offer 3 floors of permanent and temporary exhibits, yet small enough to maintain your interest and not absorb your entire day. Definitely worth a...More

    Not the best area

    We were not overly comfortable in this area. Many homeless and countless folks asking for money or whatever else we may have. We wouldn't do it again.

    Interesting Art

    The artwork is very colorful. Enjoyed it but it is a little too complicated for us. Enjoyed the meal in their restaurant.

    Small Modern Art Museum with Great variety

    The museum is small, but offers a very good selection of art (permanent and rotating collections) for everyone.
