The trails are so cool because of the outdoor art around the trails. There is also a cool amphitheatre and now there are two wings to the museum.
The first publicly funded art museum in the US got an artful makeover in 2010. View over 30 Rodin sculptures, catch a traveling exhibit and explore their great outdoor spaces.
Light is essential to the ever-changing experience of the new museum. In the Classical Court, Roman marble sculptures bask in the morning sun. Openings in the ceiling allow the light to be adjusted. Read more.

Shoebox concert hall with great acoustics. Intimate. Not a bad seat in the house.
The 65 foot ceiling, the shoebox shape, the narrow sides, shallow balconies and absence of proscenium are all elements that produces the warmest, clearest, most complete sound possible. Read more.
