Traveler reviews
Phil Barrington
★★★★★3 months agoHidden gem of a museum, we went here accidentally, while looking for the big art musuem. What a happy accident! We were lucky enough to see a great exhibit. The museum gift shop is also very reasonably priced for unique items. Walking through the park outside is relaxing as well. If in the area, stop by, it is free entry and takes about 30min to an hour to visit.
