Fun place to hang out and stare at art. There are free guided tours you can take, fun interesting stuff to learn from different paintings and eras. Shoutout to Rohini for explaining the different paintings from the Spanish/renaissance era. I'm not big into art but still found it lovely.

The museum is well done, quiet and decently sized. Their collection is not huge, but there is plenty to see. We enjoyed the late hours on Saturday. Appreciated the free locker and clean bathrooms. Staff were friendly and kind.

The young women at the front desk were ni...
