The largest museum I've ever been to in a medium sized city, but this museum can compete with any of the big museums with it's phenomenal collection. It has the old building along with the new Bloch building addition as well as an amazing outdoor sculpture garden that it great to visit even on days when the museum is closed. As a bonus, does not charge an entry fee! Special exhibits that are usually in the Bloch building do have an entrance fee.
