| - A really modern museum!
I'm a big fan of art museums, and this was a really fun one. The design of it all is so, well, modern! The architecture is really cool, with a minimalist interior, and a textured brick tile exterior of the place. The museum opens up in a huge open space when you walk in, with the reception desk at one end. They send you up, floor by floor through the galleries, each with a different theme, or artist. The 2-3 floors didn't have much to them, rather small display areas. We saw Andy Warhol in one exhibit.
The fourth floor is the best of the galleries. It's wide and expansive.
They have a variety of different artists, with many famous artists I'm sure you've heard of.
I was interested that they had a piece of Picasso pottery, as usually I've known him as a painter.
The gift shop was fun, and had all kinds of fun gifts and gadgets for your desk. The prices were alright, even better if you get a membership.
The museum staff was quite friendly, and were eager to tell us about the art.
I didn't realize that you weren't supposed to be taking pictures of the art until I had Snapchatted the whole museum. Sorry Bechtler! I hope my selfies didn't harm the art.
The museum ends with a kids area, where you can sit on beanbags and draw up art in the style of your favorite artists, or watch a video on art.
My favorite thing about this museum was the sculptures. The area on the patio and the balconies are positioned with big sculptures that are thought provoking and beautiful.
The whole museum can be toured in an hour or so.
