We were surprised at the depth of art displayed here and how nice it was. They also have an area for traveling exhibits and when we were there it was one with 3D Lenticular art. They also had a display on Chicano blown art glass in conjunction with the Smithsonian Institution of Art. The museum was well worth a visit.
