The three-story museum boasts 15 engaging galleries filled with paintings, sculpture and drawings. The expansive collection includes the museum's entrance gates, which were crafted by renowned metal artist Albert Paley, and stunning chandeliers and a Persian Ceiling by acclaimed glass artist Dale Chihuly. The museum's permanent collection includes modern American masters from 1900 to 1955, such as Alexander Calder, Jackson Pollock and Hugh Breckenridge, plus two monumental sculptures by Louise Nevelson. Special exhibitions run throughout the season and ensure a new experience with each visit.
