| - At the moment I am very convinced of the merit of this establishment. While I did not yet get to explore it in its entirety, I did get to see a fair share of their collection. Not only is the building beautiful (I love the open foyers, the hard, straight walls along with the more narrow, intimate spaces. Plus, I'm a sucker for concrete), but they have a varied collection. I'm not a connoisseur, but I do enjoy a mix of contemporary, modern, classical etc. art, with influences from around the world. I felt they provided in this aspect. And the Hollywood costume collection (though a temporary feature) was awesome. Granted, I had no expectations -- so maybe that was the key ;)
Beyond this, I really appreciated how helpful they were to me. Let me explain. I brought my bike to the museum (it's mostly how I get around) and then realized I had left my keys for my lock at my place...now, I'm not about to leave my baby untethered and ready for the taking. So, not knowing what else to do, I approached the ticket desk, who directed me to the security rep. They in turn found a place for me to store my bike in their receiving area! This is thoroughly above and beyond. Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my bike ye have done it unto me (is that blasphemous?). Take care of my bike and you've got a friend/fan in me!
I'll be back PHXArt.
