While the museum is relatively small (located on the second floor of an office building), it's nicely furnished and certainly provides a wide array of American art from the civil war to the 21st century.

The Morris Museum surprised me with its well-thought out exhibits of art relating to the Southern experience. The quality of the overall collection is higher than what I had expected to see in a regional art museum and displayed multiple perspectives of the history of the South.

Nice to have a place of culture in the neighborhood. They have wonderful "hands on" events for families on Sundays. A family "must" to look into.

Located on the second floor of an office building, which was kind of strange, but a nice collection of art, certainly worth the visit for anyone who likes museums.

We decided to come in here since it was by the river and it was a little chilly outside. Military and students get in for $3 so we figured why not. It was pretty small and most of the rooms were closed for renovations. I'm not a huge art fan but I thought it could have been a little better.

Located in an office bldg. with access to the Riverwalk this is a much larger museum than it appears to be. It is definitely worth visiting if you are in the area-it is only $3. admission for seniors and free on Sun. Take the elevator to the second floor and spend an hour or two touring the many exhibit rooms

Well organized and well displayed; thoughtful commentary and a very well done setting, especially liked the cork floors which are both luxurious and very quieting
