An eclectic display of wonderful modern art pieces organized and displayed with care and flare. Many sections are set with music that enhance the display. So many modern art museums only have paintings - this museum has a variety of mediums - glass, pottery, murals, sculptures, etc. Good modern art speaks to current culture and issues - this gem has a wide variety. The space is also a work of art - it is open and bright, with different floors and areas to meander.

My husband and I recently built a home and needed furnishing throughout. Teresa Thompson was our personal shopper for the day. We could not have found everything we needed and coordinate deliveries without her help. She went out of her way to ensure we were comfortable with the styles and purchases and ensured all pieces were cohesive. We will return for future visits
