This museum truly exceeded my expectations! The grounds, the building, the variety of the collection and adjacent sculpture garden are all immaculate. I was surprised to see a fish pond inside plus ceramics, photography, watercolors, and such notable artists on display. The gift shop is superb with many local artists and one of a kind finds at a fair price.
