James "JJ" FanninJune 8, 2011This was an absolute waste of time. 3 yr olds w/ ADD could have done the "modern art" on display. Green panel boards hanging on a white wall IS NOT art. It is lazy bullshit done by no talent hacksUpvoteDownvote
Yoshi M.January 20, 2014Too modern for my artistic pallet. I'll stick with impressionism.UpvoteDownvote
Arpita SharmaOctober 27, 2010The impressionist paintings collection is quite impressive!Upvote1Downvote
