1. Menil Collection

MONTROSE.   Dominique and John de Menil commissioned architect Renzo Piano to design this steel-and-cypress building to showcase their extensive art holdings – considered one of the country's finest private collections. Modern works, tribal and ethnic art, and antiquities are well-represented, and surrealist works are prominent, especially those by Magritte. Also included in the complex are the Cy Twombly Gallery, Rothko Chapel, Richmond Hall (a Dan Flavin installation), Byzantine Fresco Chapel Museum, and a bookstore. An amazing assemblage of periods and works.   (© 10Best)

Outstanding collection! The quality of the individual pieces is breathtaking! They really found and acquired the most beautiful examples in each genre, from Northwest Coast to Africa and South Pacific, to classical antiquity to surrealism. Probably also true of 60's and 70's abstract pieces, ("Search for the Absolute"), but these don't interest me as much.
