  I really liked this art museum. They have a great variety of exhibitions in the gallery. Very well designed by industrious designers. It’s very good idea to spend one day at least in this art gallery. Quick tip: It’s in downtown and really hard to find parking. It can be better to use public transport.

  This museum has an amazing collection of indigenous peoples’ art and artifacts. I also enjoyed the Zen tea room display. They also have a wonderful modern art collection packed with big names. The furniture and architectural artifact exhibits were also pretty cool. They are open until 9 PM on Thursdays, or at least on the first Thursday of the month, which is a great opportunity to check them out.
