This is a great day-long or quick hour experience depending on your preference. The permanent collection is free and is quite impressive.

Worth a visit! Expect to spend at least a couple of hours touring the museum. The contemporary art section was interesting, and the more classical art was also worth viewing. The museum has a good comprehensive collection of art. I only wish the Dale Chihuly glass exhibit was opening in May, and not June, as this would have made the... More

Some reviews say that there was so much nooks and crannies that the got lost and saw only part of the free permanent collection. Others say that there is very little to see since they don't know on how it work. So take time to have everything explained to you , the member counter is not really busy so the... More
