Tammy ZhouJuly 23, 2011Sit in the expansive courtyard - has AC! The colbert portrait is @ american history museum now, not here.
Check out Alexis Rockman's A Fable for Tomorrow Exhibit on the third floor until May 8th!!! It is amazing!
Bill SobelAugust 7, 2010I totally agree with Colin. I would also recommend seeing the 12 min short feature about Rockwell from Spielberg and Lucas
Island BruinJuly 7, 2015Folk art is good. But the collection in general is a hodge-podge. There is better American Art at the National Gallery.
- jose ignacio CabezasSeptember 19, 2015Me ha gustado más el relato del arte americano que el ala de retratos de personajes americanos. En todo caso merece la pena verlo

"A great air-conditioned and daylit space for hot or lousy weather. Big marble bench/planters you can climb on and tables and chairs. A pricy but good cafe, and a sometimes-on splash fountain."
