My kids have been dragged to every museum in the state, and this is still one of their favorites. They have a steady stream of changing exhibits, like a Georgia Okeefe collection, and Renoir's Women, but they also have an excellent permanant collection on display. We often go from room to room just visiting our favorites. The docent tour at 2pm is nice, but the joy for us is in wandering around reading the plaques and finding new pieces. Eye Spy is the children's exhibit, which includes LOTS of hands-on exhibits: dress-up costumes, rubbings, draw your hero, perspective activities. Free on Sundays doesn't include parking or featured exhibits, but admission on every other day is very reasonable. Don't forget to check out the cafe...they do really nice soups and salads, and the kids will dig the cookies. A great educational afternoon, rain or shine!
