Worth visiting-so much art with some rotating exhibits. The musuem has a variety of styles of art-modern, impressionism, etc. The cost was 10 but was had in free for being Bank of America customers-so check if there are deals going on when you visit! more

Great collection, note the new installation of European (mostly German) figural ceramics (third floor) and outstanding collection of early Ameican furniture (notably the Wallace Nutting collection.) The modern selections however are weak. more

A must-see art museum. Great tours and building. Do not miss Calder's massive "Stegasaurus" located right next door. more
