This a cool little museum! The workers are kind and friendly, and it's awesome that they showcase small local artists. The yearly pass is a good deal to come and see all of the different exhibitions.

This may not be the Broad or MOMA, but it's a great way to spend some time with a friend. It's fun, clean, decent art, and fairly well curated to reflect local interests. Give it a shot and roll with an open mind.
