I re-visited this week, since they had an exhibit of highlights from the collection, in celebration of a major renovation project just completed. The facility is beautiful - a classical building, in keeping with the setting.
It was interesting to see the approach they took with the installation. The works were grouped by themes such as Construction, Sequence, etc. - not chronoglogically. This allowed them to juxtapose works from all periods, and cause the viewer to think about the content of the work and the interrelationships.
As with most museums, photography was not allowed indoors, but I was able to capture a glimpse of one of the Dale Chihuly spheres they had embedded in the greenery of a rooftop garden.
The current exhibit ends in October; admission is free to the museum.
