Surely there are better museums, because this museum is so lacking in real art. I have been to art museums all over the U.S. and also some in Europe, and I rate this the worst. The best exhibit is a group of miniature boats hanging from the lobby ceiling. Beyond that, one large wall painting, a film about African Americans and the "While the Dew is Still on the Roses" weren't boring or awful. Some decent photos as well.

To be fair, I'm not a fan of some contemporary art. My feeling is if I have to read an explanation about why a work is good, then it's likely not good. A single photo of two or three books leaning on a pice of square wood did not evoke any emotion in me except to think "who is the curator of this museum and why was this piece chosen?"

There was the seemingly obligatory mirror image geometric painting in two colors and the painting of straight colored lines, both of which almost anyone could have painted. I think the artists on display had become famous somehow in the past, and now are able to create something facile and call it art. I thought this was a waste of time.
