The Toulouse-Lautrec exhibit itself is worth the price of admission. It was very well laid out and included several of his masterpieces as well as dozens of smaller works. There is also an excellent documentary that runs continuously. Staff is extremely friendly and helpful. We also enjoyed the smaller show of Indian temple art. The museum's own collection also has...

I have traveled all over Europe. Seen many paintings here that rival those from the louvre. My husband and I both agree that this little museum is a gem. If you go on Sunday's it is free.

Nice museum but with very traditional art exhibits. If you go to visit any day but Sunday you will pay $12 each to see works of art which are pre-contemporary.

This is a small museum, but it has a lot to offer. Paintings that are 700+ years old to modern times, glass art, vintage clothing from the roaring twenties, and local high school student art. A great way to spend an afternoon.

We love to tour the art museum on cold days, days that are too hot, or rainy days. The standard exhibits are old favorites, and love to browse the new exhibits, too. Really nice addition to downtown!

Visited the Museum for a College course in art. Enjoyed the wide variety of art on display. There are often lectures here with the artist that might have a show or installation to discuss the concepts of their works.
