Arts & Culture

I love this little museum housing some surprisingly great art of many genre. If you've ever watched a Rose Parade you've seen it as it's right where the floats round Orange Grove to Colorado. Many Degas sculptures incl. one of his 'Little Dancers', good grouping of more modern art incl. multiple Picassos, Kandinsky, Giacometti, pretty garden, large selection of southeastern art as well. $15 for adults, $12 seniors, under 18 free. First Friday after 5 (until 8) is free. Closed Tuesdays.
