This is a great asset to the community, and a wonderful museum. I love to take people to the Chrysler when they come to visit from out of town. The Tiffany glass collection alone is worth the trip.

I have been twice now once with a photography class I was taking and a second to show my mother the glass collection. Have loved it both times and can't wait for an excuse to go again and see the changes that happen each time I come back.

Great place to spend a relaxing and informative afternoon. Good changing exhibits plus ancient permanent exhibits.

I grew up going to museums. As with all museums, you need to go with a bit of background of the art the museum holds. Ask questions about the art and be aware and you will have an enjoyable experience. I found bringing young children and exposing them was fun especially asking their opinion.

A little on the snobby side..... Not a kid friendly place! And not that great of a museum for a bunch of people to be walking around with ties and church attire on. I don't get it, every other city has museums that encourage childeren to take an interest in the arts. These people treated me and my family like outsiders and I didn't appreciate it.

My daughter (9) and I went and ended up spending all day. The collection is quite vast and the option audio narrative really peaked my daughters interest and helped her to understand the pieces. The Tiffany collection was just WONDERFUL!! This wont be our last visit!
