great variety and some amazing pieces!
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

Today has seen my fourth trip to the NCMA. Every time I'm impressed by the artifacts they have, classic pieces and modern art they offer, giving newer artists well deserved space (including local kids! - I love seeing greek statues in one room and a third grader's painting next door, it's inspiring). Admission is free, so you can't beat that. There's also a great path through the adjacent park. Don't miss the cloud chamber! Highly recommended.
