Small but enjoyable museum on the Duke campus. Rotating exhibits encourages repeat visits. I will absolutely be back. Paid parking but free admission.
This was a an architecturally beautiful building! A great, free admission museum with art from various genres. Great place to take kids!
Relatively small but incredibly well-curated! High quality collection/exhibition. Love the modern building. And it’s free! Highly recommend
Great and interesting exhibits. We enjoyed our visit and were happy we decided to visit. The bottled water was a pleasant and welcomed surprise on this hot afternoon. The young lady at the entrance was friendly and helpful. I love it when you walk away from a museum, and you can't wait to share what you've learned. 👍👍👍👍
I'm a lover of great art and this place definitely hit it. It was a smaller gallery and exhibits but it was nothing short of amazing! It wasn't overwhelming so there was no need to rush. I took my time through each piece which is also a plus. The workers were super nice and attentive. Absolutely loved the experience, the gift shop was awesome, just wish I could buy everything that was in there. But I will for sure be back with more people who will appreciate this wonderful place!
