I am only giving this museum a two star review because it is not worth the admission price in comparison to other museums. One cannot expect the Perez to match more established (and far more expensive for admission) modern art museums such as MOMA in New York or the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, or the modern collection at the Chicago Art Institute. However, for the $16 adult price, there is surprisingly little to see. The one Picasso on display has an entire large room devoted to it -- and is not one of his quality pieces. The exhibition on Soccer's World Cup (closing this month - September 2018) was remarkably boring -- I went with a friend who is a total Barcelona club fan. The museum also has a surprisingly limited amount of exhibition space for a building of its size. It is pretty on the outside -- but the new Norton Art Museum Building designed by British Architect Norman Foster which will open in February 2019 in West Palm Beach will have a far grander collection -- and will be worth the similar admission price then. If you have the money, and like to support the arts, then go to the Perez, but for many on a budget, you will feel ripped off after your short visit to this lackadaisical and poorly laid out contemporary art collection. I am only giving it one star.
