I just went here for the first time yesterday. I was so impressed! To begin with, the facility is absolutely gorgeous, and HUGE. There is an impressive collection of American art, sculpture, textile, and Impressionist-era paintings (probably the best in the U.S., after the NYC MoMA). Prices are moderate but it's a "donation," so they suggest a $12 admission fee, but they'll take anything. Their special exhibit was fabulous and the docent-led tour I took was very good. I had a great afternoon here!
Beware, lines get long and sometimes there is a "lottery," meaning you can't enter when you get there; you'll have to come back at a later time. I arrived at 9:45 on Sunday morning (it opens at 10:00), and there was a line over 100 people deep--so get there early, or even better, buy your tickets beforehand--you'll get in immediately without standing in line.
