Established in 1878, the museum has expanded its focus from European and American art in the early modern period to include contemporary art and photography. The pride of the museum is its permanent exhibitions - collections by local artists such as Aminah Brenda Lynn Robinson, Elijah Pierce, and George Bellows. Of broader interest are the Cubist paintings by Picasso and Juan Gris. Other masterworks include those by Cézanne, Boucher, Ingres, Degas, Matisse, Monet, Edward Hopper, and Norman Rockwell. The museum's aesthetic is decidedly unusual compared to most other modern and contemporary art museum. Art works are arranged flush to and around each other on the walls, instead of being spaced apart. Outside the museum is a sculpture gallery and a rock garden that you can look down on from the cafe.
