We visited this architecture museum in downtown to see the Modern Chair exhibition and we were not disappointed! They had a great display of original chairs displayed in a earliest to latest order. Many famous designers were represented including the Eames brothers and Frank Lloyd Wright. The staff was extremely helpful, friendly, and informative. This building is spacious and beautiful, and the drive through window and vault remain, showing evidence that it was originally built as a bank. We will definitely keep returning here!

Excellent collection. Small, but very nicely curated, and lots to see museum-adjacent too, and a good rotation of pieces. Worth visiting every few months as stuff filters in and out. Also, plenty of parking and plentiful Electric Vehicle chargers in the garage. Supposedly the restaurant is good too.
