I think we wanted this museum to be something other than what it was. While it did display a significant portion of southern art, the genres were vast and often had one or two pieces before moving on to another representation. Overall, eclectic, but possibly enjoyable if you particularly love museums.

This museum is easily accessable by street car. The exhibits are beautiful, challenging, and give you an opportunity to think. I found 2 exhibits that I really loved. There is a wonderful exhibit done by children with a resident artist. It is beautiful and shows the determination of the children to create beautiful art. The volunteer at the gift store was very helpful.

I thought this would be a yawn. That's the jaded part of me. However, I was enthralled by the variety and beauty of the collection I found here. The day we were there the museum was hosting a Martin Luther King special event which made the museum especially lively - and crowded. I would like to return when I can fully soak in the art.

This is one of the most interesting and wonderful museums I have ever visited. Many works by women and people of color, very accomplished people with interesting backgrounds. Many different types of artistic media over several floors. Benches on which to sit if you get tired or just want to look at the art a while. Reasonable admission ($10). Highly recommend.
