Art Around the Museum

One of the Museum's core values and defining features is the quality and beauty of its learning environment. With a commitment to art since opening in 1977, the Museum has commissioned or accepted donations of work by artists – many of them local – for our exhibits and public spaces.  These vibrant murals and paintings, intricate sculptures and carvings, and more introduce rich color and texture to every corner of the Museum, inspire creative exploration, and introduce children to art and artists.
