Fantastic little museum! We got a discounted ticket entry on Groupon. We spent a very enjoyable few hours there.

I went on a Friday evening when it’s free from 4 to 8 PM. I just happen to be there that time. I saw a great temporary exhibit by a Native American basket weaver. There is some other very nice art, and the building is great and very accessible for viewing art. There is also a good children’s book selection and a nice gift shop.

Wow. What a great local museum. We especially enjoyed the exhibit on basket weaving and the second floor dedicated to the local indigenous land and its relationship to art. They have a few jewelry pieces and a small collection of decorative glass. The third floor modern collection was awesome. I especially loved the animal collection that leads to the fourth floor. Highly recommend and the museum experts are great!

was very fun, but my boyfriend made a joke about one of the pieces being a tax write off and one of the nearby workers immediately started following us the entire time. I think he was trying to find a way to get us kicked out?? lol. other than that everything was great

The baskets exhibit was wonderful and I enjoyed some of the paintings. The staff are incredibly friendly with one exception.

One curator kept staring me down. It was really uncomfortable, that’s why four out of five stars.

The canoe on the second floor and the glass bowls (the blue one with the person) were probably my favorite two things in the museum. The apples on the way to the cafe are pretty cool too.
Very nice musem. A little bit of everything. I spotted one pice of Picasso. Some local artist, too. Fantastic person working at the museum, who was super helpful and engaging in the conversation.
