How much time would you recommend in order to see most of the exhibits?
A:
I took between 2-3 hours by myself and read many of the writeups about the art and the artist with a short rest period to grab a snack and some water in the cafe.
There are docents all over the museum and they are extremely knowledgeable about the art work. I do believe that there are tours but you should check the website to confirm.
Is it kid friendly? Never been and have a 2 and 4 year we old.
A:
Friendliest during special events, such as Art in Bloom, when they have targeted activities for children. The rest of the time I would say not so much, like any adult art museum.
