Art
Major encyclopedic art museum with collections spanning world cultures and centuries — art history, visual analysis, and cross-cultural studies.
What families say
This free-admission museum (donations welcome) offers a wide range of art from around the world, with a notably large Asian art collection and rotating special exhibitions—plan on a few hours to explore, and expect some walking between floors and exhibits. If you can time a visit for the annual Art in Bloom event each spring, reviewers especially love seeing floral interpretations paired with the artwork, though the museum is worth visiting either way. No reviews specifically address young kids, so it may be best suited to older children or families comfortable with a traditional art museum pace.
