One of the largest and most encyclopedic art museums in the United States, with world-class collections spanning ancient Egypt, Japanese art, Impressionism, and contemporary work. The American Wing and the Nubian collection are particular strengths that rival any museum globally. Wednesday evenings offer pay-what-you-wish admission after 4pm. The sheer scale can be overwhelming — pick two or three wings rather than attempting everything.
