A place worth knowing

A small focus can make an art visit feel generous. Choose one exhibition, allow time to return to a work that catches you, and leave the rest of the day open.

Admission is free and individual visitors do not need an advance reservation. Parking costs extra. The museum is closed on Mondays and specified holidays. Its Lindbrook Drive drop-off has a ramp to the courtyard. The archival cover photograph dates from 2012, before the museum’s later expansion; use current official directions for entrances.
