This artistic wonderland is housed in a splendid neoclassical structure that serves as a piece of work in itself. Collections of American and European art contain creations from the most prominent schools and periods, from artists such as Homer, Caravaggio, Monet, Titian, Rodin, Renoir and hundreds of others. Popular displays at the museum include the Chinese Temple Room, a sealed Egyptian tomb and an outdoor sculpture garden. A cafe and gift shop are also onsite. Admission is free.
