First time visiting, and it did not disappoint. Beautiful museum! I went to specifically see the current kimono exhibit before it over, and it was breathtaking! They also offer a military discount. I'm looking forward to returning to other exhibits and events.

Definitely take advantage of Bank of America's customer perk. First weekend of every month you can get in free to these museums by showing your debit card. Great to experience while walking downtown and no tour needed. Great setup for walking and learning for yourself.

I really enjoy coming to this museum. You could spend 2-3 hours in here. They do need to buy better merchandise in their gift shop that is geared towards the artwork they have.

A small but wonderful place. A great way to spend a morning or afternoon. There are a lot of really awesome exhibits and the garden is beautiful. They also have the best gift shop I’ve ever been to in a museum.
