Weekday mornings at opening offer quieter galleries and easier access to special exhibitions; late afternoon brings warm light to the riverside courtyard for photos.

Expect to pay roughly $15–$20 for adult admission; kids and members often have free or discounted entry, and students, seniors and military usually get reduced rates, so check the museum website or bring reciprocal museum cards for savings.

About
快速信息: You can wander through more than 30,000 artworks that span ancient sculpture, Asian ceramics, and bold contemporary pieces. Galleries sit within warm brick and iron architecture, so the art often pops against high, echoing ceilings and unexpected industrial details.
亮点: One surprising detail: the holdings cover roughly 5,000 years, so you might stand inches from a 2,000-year-old carved relief and then face a neon contemporary piece in the next room. On slow afternoons the mix of sunlight, cool stone, and docent-led close looks means you can hear whispered stories about tiny features like a Roman coin carved into a frieze, making the past feel tactile.
Insider tips
- Wear comfortable shoes, gallery floors cover several levels and you will walk a lot.
- Ask at admissions for a gallery map and any temporarily closed or ticketed exhibitions to avoid backtracking.
- Non-flash photography is usually allowed in permanent galleries, confirm signage and avoid tripods or flash in special exhibitions.
- Plan the riverside courtyard for late afternoon light and fewer crowds for photos.
