    The gallery was intriguing to ponder at, however I had wish there was more of it. I came here with 2-3 hours to spare, and only needed less than 1. It was a small space, which did not give me the allotted time to get immersed into the art and really feel some type of way. Friendly and helpful staff. Got to love the contemporary pieces displayed at last exhibit.

    A very small space which is lovely and used heavily for programs. The collection, only a small portion can be exhibited, is significant in representing both established and contemporary artists. There is minimal work done in aiding the casual guest past the most obvious interpretations or insights, security were most helpful in this regard. Unaware of their own materials stale dates.

    Great Museum! The show on until the end of May "Out of the Closet" is a sculpture exhibit of the human form telling a story. There's a Rodin, a cyclid and Egyptian stone carved head from 2500bc.! Truly wonderful.
