Serena ZampolliSeptember 2, 2015Small museum but something not to be missed for those who are interested in American art and history- Teachers College Student AffairsJuly 1, 2013Visit on a Friday evening and attend the museum's 'Free Music Fridays.' From 5:30 to 7:30 pm you can have a drink in the cafe while enjoying amazing live folk music in the stunning atrium.
There's a fantastic exhibition of quilts on view now from contemporary artists and also traditional quilts. Textile lovers, don't miss it!
Small but with some lovely exhibitions. Free music most Fridays as well.
Alexander KostSeptember 29, 2017Very exciting and rare exhibitions you wouldn't find in a "regular" museum. Admission is free, donations are welcome- Very unusual quilt exhibition on view. Really worth the visit. Open late, and free!

Summer BurtonJune 2, 2013It's cool but pretty tiny -- check to see if the current exhibition is something that interests you, since their permanent collection isn't on display.- Nina DNovember 16, 2010You have to stop in. Admission is based on donation for a really small gallery. Really cool gift shop!
