Art Museum

Admission is free, but the art is top notch. Collections of American and European paintings from the 19th century are the museum's
mainstay, but exhibitions of contemporary art from the Northwest, Russia, and elsewhere provide exciting seasonal spice. The building is itself
an attraction, with its elegant modern, distinct lines and pleasing tranquil water fountain. |
