Super awesome. Lots of classic modern artists works. Classic Andy Warhol pieces, a Jackson Pollock, and some of Picasso's works. Most of the 2nd floor was closed off but it was still very fun.

Iâ€™ve lived in the area for over 10 years and have never gone. Iâ€™m not much of an artsy person but I went for the first time and I loved it. Looking at all the paintings and sculptures I was amazed at the talent. It was very relaxing.

My wife and I went to the Cafe Modern and were pleasantly surprised at the wonderful menu items. They also had 1/2 price wine at the bar before dinner. I ordered the lamb chops and they were cooked to perfection. The service was excellent as well as the view, sitting by the water. I would certainly recommend enjoying a fine meal or celebrating a special occasion. Enjoy.

Yea parking is free but I never heard or saw that the museum provides wheelchairs although the museum is wheelchair accessible and the restaurant too.

They have the hours on their website.

I seriously doubt they would allow this.

I paid $5.00

I am sure if you contact the business office they can help.

There is a large Kaws sculpture ("Clean Slate") in an interior courtyard overlooking the pond. Don't think any other Kaws is up right now.
