Multi media features: video, recycling, music, crochet, etc. Very easy toget around. Layout was unique.

We sat outside in the grassy park area on a blanket on a beautiful sunny afternoon. We packed a light picnic to enjoy. The grounds are always clean. I enjoy seeing so many come out, taking formal pictures. Yes, we saw someone taking bridal photo portraits with the big sculptures. There are trails and even a playground for kids. Plenty of space for everyone to be outside and do their own activities.

It's hard to beat free, especially when it comes in the form of a luxury experience. It's easily one of the best free art museums I've ever seen! However, be prepared; security will follow you around at some point. All the buildings represent an eclectic arrangement of art from across the world. There are plenty of collections/activities for children as well. The park is excellent for walkers, bikers, and art enthusiasts alike. Sadly, a majority of the exhibits in the main building were being curated or temporarily closed. With that said, the other facilities and parks are fantastic!
