This little known art museum in the heart of downtown is a gem. Smart curatorial staff, salient show themes, and a beautiful space make this well worth a visit.

Awesome space, 2 floors, you may have to wait a few minutes to enter after hitting the doorbell but it’s worth it! The show up now is so good!

Great place, always has something cool to see or experience. Parking is hit and miss and downtown is downtown. There is almost always an unhinged Christian preaching about the fires of hell on the corner. I would suggest visiting in the daylight and I’m not joking.
