Crema's Take
“The architecture itself is the main attraction here—the Raclin Murphy building is a masterpiece of contemporary design that elevates the viewing experience of its surprisingly ambitious collection spanning contemporary, Asian, and Americas art. It's completely free to visit with thoughtfully organized galleries that people genuinely spend multiple visits exploring, plus the bonus of occasional live performances in the central atrium. If you're in the area and appreciate museums that feel as considered in their design as their curation, this one delivers.”
What to expect
Classic coffee drinks done right. A slow-sit spot, good for meetings.

Gorgeous space and artwork. Completely free as well as free coat check and lockers. The day we went they had a special performance ballet dancer in the center. It felt like I was back in Italy in the European section. Will go back!
