| - This museum has some interesting pieces, but it's a lot smaller than I thought it would be. This museum has four floors, but the first three have only a a few pieces on each floor. The fourth floor is really where most of the pieces are found.
My baby brother and I went when they had the Niki de Saint Phalle exhibit, which had quite a large collection of her works. They look up most of the fourth floor with that exhibit, which was quite cool. The guided tour was quite helpful, really giving insight into her life and her work. They also had some fun sculptures outdoors that you can pose with (which, of course, I did). They also have some Andy Warhol paintings and some very interesting European art.
The building design itself was quite interesting and unique. They also offer a small gift shop and cafe, if you're into that sort of thing. The regular admission is $8, but you can get discounts for students (even college students), groups, and seniors.
My big complaint is this place is quite small. I didn't expect it to be as big as the Art Institute of Chicago, by any means, but it sure didn't take more than a couple of hours to get through all the exhibits, even with the audio tour.
All in all, it's a cute museum with some great pieces and interesting exhibits.
