Sadly, the surrounding areas smelled like urine so it had hard to enjoy the exterior beauty of the building. $10 for two people and saw it all within 10-15 minutes."

She is a fiber artist who makes sculptures and wall hangings by hand. The museum had two rooms dedicated to her work and also had video of her creative process. A more in depth documentary can be seen on PBS. It was a nice way to spend a Sunday going to the farmers market, having lunch at a local eatery and ending the day in the air conditioned building being inspired by the artwork."
