Description
Architect Louis I. Kahn won an award from the American Institute of Architects for this building's striking design, which uses a series of arched glass ceilings to let in natural light and enhance the presentation of the many important pieces in the museum collection. Artworks come from all over the world and range from ancient times to present day, with such masters as Renoir, Picasso, Rubens and Rembrandt represented. Those desiring more exotic artworks will enjoy the Asian, African and Mediterranean collections. The Buffet Restaurant is open daily, offering different kinds of light fare depending on the time of day. Museum tours take place Wednesdays at 2p and Sundays at 3p. Admission is free to the museum's permanent collection. Price for special exhibitions varies by event.
