Description
Opened in 1948, this museum's goal is to present the "art of our time." Recently renovated in 1997, the building now sports an elegant new interior that is almost as appealing as the exhibits. Regional, national and international artists display their work here, and the museum can also take credit for the successful launch of several local artists' careers. The art exhibits are very diverse, exhibiting the use of various materials and subjects in a wide range of styles. The gift shop will put a significant dent in your wallet, but it is rumored to be one of the best in town. Admission: Free.
