Art, having undergone a long-anticipated
expansion, has quickly become one of the
"must-sees" in town, with art from all corners
of the globe. Exhibitions from famed artists
such as Francisco Goya and Ansel Adams
have been featured, and collection galleries
span from medieval art to contemporary
prints. Interactive rooms, including a room
covered in cracked mirrors and a dialogue
table, encourage museum visitors to directly
engage with art. UMMA is an attraction not to
be missed. SEE PAGE 40
