Enjoy both the infrastructure of the museum and the works of art within. The circular layout with more exhibition spaces branching out around it is unique. I appreciate when Mark Bradford uses the curvature of the walls to showcase his eight huge canvases; a mixed media piece collectively named "Pickett's Charge". They are worth your time sitting in front of them to soak in the colors, texture, and emotion they seek to trigger. There are some construction going on during my visit and so, the experience was a little "distracting". Nevertheless, I am glad to have visited it.

Never seen anything quite like it. The entire museum (not counting the plaza and sculpture garden, which are also worth visiting) is comprised of six rotating exhibits split between three levels - two above the entry level and one below. It’s definitely not for everyone and there is adult content in some of the exhibits (it’s not for children) but I thoroughly enjoy my time here every time. It’s a quick visit, especially if you don’t do the whole thing so I recommend coming here after or before seeing aerospace, American History, or natural history for a nice change of pace.

Unbelievable place. Flows easily even with big crowds. Felt completely re-inspired. Awesome stuff to see and interact with. Fascinating displays on the 3rd floor. Will go again!!

I hate to complain about crowds, but the skinny escalators, busy rooms, and long lines at the cafe made this experience less than ideal. It seems like every room had someone that was trying to ruin the experience for everyone else. The exhibits were well-curated. I couldn't focus my time on them in the way I wanted. One of the exhibits was well done, but I have zero appreciation for the subject matter. Love the architecture.

Just a little over the top for me. Great to experience the visit. Like art but this museum is just a little different. Would recommend going just for the variety but not with young children. Was here just last year and all exhibits were changed, great and interesting visit.
