Just Okay

Reviewed by caparsons on October 23, 2007

caparsons' rating:

"Not terrible, but really not worth going out of your way for. They had a somewhat interesting Rock and Roll exhibit when I visited, and a nice Calder exhibit, but the rest seemed lackluster at best."

The anti-MOMA

Reviewed by ohsostrange on December 10, 2006

ohsostrange's rating:

"Scarcely worth burning the calories required to walk through the place. Very small and unimpressive permanent collection. On the plus side, they do occasionally feature off-beat special exhibits."
