Museum Outdoors | 1st Floor | 2nd Floor | 3rd Floor

Our Collection centers on folkart, textiles, costumes, art, puppets, toys and instruments from six continents. Most of these are available on permanent display. We also offer rotating exhibits by visiting artists in residence, other galleries, photographers, and special events. All floors are accessible by elevator, which is reserved for those with special needs. It's slow, allowing time for meditation. That's why it has a chair!

Each floor diagram below links to a page displaying photos and information about that floor's displays. Click on the floor plans or the listed displays below to go to a specific section of the Museum.
