  I really liked this place. Most importantly, it is free. It has a varied collection of art ranging from native American to Medittaranian to Modern age. There are paintings by Picasso as well. Many paintings about New England to give you a glimpse into the history of this place. Anyone visiting the area must visit this. It is very clean and well maintained.

  Lots to see but left me quite empty, expecting more for a newly opened renovation. The rooms seemed similar perhaps larger but same artifacts. Disappointed actually. Perhaps the darkness, the sultry depressive artifacts, the bizarreness of some, left me feeling the senslessnesss of including the newest pieces. They detract from the timeless, beautiful artwork that has been revered for centuries.
