Excellent art museum! Wonderfully curated. We tend to go when it's open to the public for free, but I recommend the museum to folks from out of town regardless because it's so well done. That said, in a city where private museums compete against the Smithsonian endowment, I wouldn't be surprised for someone to head to the other art museums in town that are always open for free.

Beautifully done!  The Wednesday afternoon tour was short (~30 minutes?) and I wanted to learn more, but the space is lovely so one can easily spend all afternoon. Cafe is nice as well; relaxing and spacious. A good place for a tourist or local.

The art is thought provoking without being overwhelming.  There are a couple of female artists that most people have heard of such as Berthe Morisot and millions more that are unknown.  This museum does a good job of introducing you to some of those unknowns.  The art includes not only sculpture, photography, and painting but also textiles and spans over 400 years of women's creativity.   Make sure you read the placards next to the works, they provide valuable insights into both the artist and the work.

Always great exhibits on women.  The rock and roll exhibit was awesome years ago.  The exhibit space is large and expansive.  Many floors to see exhibits. The main historical hall is used for events cost $10.  Free on community days, check lock listening and websites.  And there is no restaurant.
