Its grounds are as lovely as its collections, boasting fountains, streams, goldfish ponds and Japanese-style gardens. Recent touring exhibitions include works by Georgia O'Keefe, a collection of pop art and American Pictorial Photography. The auditorium and portions of the museum are available for private functions. Members and Children 12 and under get in for free; Adults $8, or $13 during special exhibition; Students with I.D., Seniors and Active Military $10.
