A beautiful building nestled in this charming college neighborhood. Free parking in back and free admission. A nice modern vibe like a mini MoMA, with educational aids which always help me to appreciate works more. Or, I at least understand what the artist was expressing whether I like it or not. This will be even better when the quilt portion is ready. We were disappointed not to see it, and we are from Buffalo NY and were just in town for a wedding, so we won't be able to stop back to see it.

Fairly small art museum but with a very nice collection. Very good way to spend an hour or so if you have some time and want to get away from the usual distractions and noise. It’s free and the restrooms are clean so that’s a nice aspect too. Afterward, I looked one of the artists and found one of his small paintings for sale on eBay, and I bought it for $160. It’s in my house now. 🙂

Local fav. Free parking outback for patrons. Coffee cart in lobby weekdays. Sweet collection on display. Some family programming. Great place for small table coffee meetings in lobby or outside. Clean public restrooms. Was this helpful? How about doing me a solid by 👍

If you're in the area and have some time to kill, this is a great place to visit. It's a small museum so don't expect to get lost in here for hours, but there are some great exhibits. There are a few pieces outdoors as well to check out. For free admission and parking, you can't beat it. I visited on a weekend and there were only a few other visitors there.

Fairly small, total experience took less than 2 hours and we were taking our sweet time. There are some interesting activities that kids 5 and up could participate in. Writing in notebooks about the art is provided along with real typewriters and paper. Step by step instructions for use are also provided and you can keep what you type out! Interesting video/are piece on the second floor. Small coffee stand outside but we couldn't walk around with the coffee.
