    Incredible museum!! The rooms are incredible to see, very well put together, super well thought through, and very relevant and informative content. I went through all the text beside the rooms and the historical context is incredibly well provided and executed. I spent 1.5 hrs there going through 7 rooms. Absolutely loved it !

    This is such a great, free museum! Please show it some love and make a donation when you visit. The Gardens Through Time exhibit is absolutely lovely and well worth your time. The lower gallery takes you through several families/individuals as they explore what Home means to them and how home is created amd experienced throughout different cultures, backgrounds, and age groups. The upper gallery provides gorgeous examples of rooms from homes over four centuries. Really neat to see the recreated wallpapers and antique furnishings.
