Great museum with a ton of North/South American history. Decent amount of street parking nearby as well. Not a big museum but also not very crowded. Less than 5 people passed by while we were there.

What a great museum! We loved our visit here and learned much from the exhibition that was currently displayed. The staff here were so friendly and helpful as well...thanks to them for making our visit a positive one!

Very nice museum, definitely worth visiting especially the fee is $5 with a student discount and it took me around 40 minutes since I sit a while with each piece. I literally got tears in my eyes from the expressive art. My only complain is it pretty small and I know for sure that there are more art work to be added! * I saw only one floor and now I wonder if they have a second floor LOL but I don't think so

A small but impactful museum, with creaky wooden floors that just tell your mind that this is going to be good. It was more of as micro museum. We did enjoy the current exhibition though. Artists all had a unique approach to a call to action prompt. They also had what I think was as permanent collection of religious artifacts from the surrounding region. The gift shop had unique mostly hand made items. We were the only ones there when we went though someone came in as we left. The bathrooms were nice and very clean. We had planned to spend an hour or two there, but you could read and see everything in about 30 min, so we just left wanting more.
