I'm prepared to change this post when the new and improved museum opens up but up til now, this has been the WORST museum I've been to. I've been to NYC, London, Denver, and various other places and I have always been disappointed by SAM. I stopped paying to get in because they have really small traveling exhibits and NO modern art in the permanent collection. I'm all for different cultures and their art, but in the city of Seattle there are hardly any contemporary art (big enough for the big gigs) museums. Henry Art is okay, but it's small. I look forward to the changing ways of SAM, but they better get it together.
