Interesting gallery, quite quiet when I went which was nice to have the place to myself but I also finished it quickly so I wouldn't make a day trip of it. I believe it was entrance by donation only so that was nice, but I wish I had inquired about where the donations went, it would be nice to see them going back into the art community or to assist art students with grants and such.

A small place, but used very efficiently. What they show first looks odd, but it makes you think about it. The place was mostly quite.

A few pieces were really exceptional but otherwise I was not too impressed. The donation based entrance is voluntary so it's not bad given that.

It's a decent / ok museum. There was 1 exhibit worth viewing (exhibits will change) of the 4 there. All the exhibits are inside small spaces. If you don't expect too much, then you might find a few things you will enjoy. Their recommended donation is $5 per person.

Very friendly staff although the content delivered is far from what we could expect from a big city modern art museum. It does feel like the artists exhibited are trying a bit too hard to be edgy & controversial instead of creating art. Still interesting nonetheless, especially considering that it is free. Loved the feathers display, it felt more real than the rest
