This exciting art museum has free admission every day. Collections are arranged both chronologically and geographically: be amazed at the sheer number of African, Asian and ancient Americas works of art. The BMA also has an outstanding contemporary art collection, rivaling collections in much larger cities. Two courtyard gardens are home to 20th century sculptures.

Their gift store has a wonderful variety of books on fine art as well as crafts, jewelry, clothing, stationery and other interesting curios.
