We loved this museum for how it is curated. There are no explanations given for any of the artwork. Stone-age sculptures are shown side by side with modern paintings. No information about any of the work is presented, not even a tag to show the year the work was created, the title, or the name of the artist. It changes how one experiences the artwork. Rather than reading, we looked. It felt right.
The museum is on an old military base. The site has been restored to a nature preserve, with a series of stand-alone buildings created specifically to hold art. This was a great day.
