A world-class fine art museum in a stunning neoclassical building modeled after Paris's Palais de la Legion d'Honneur, featuring an enormous collection of European paintings, ancient art, and rotating exhibitions across spacious, well-lit galleries. The exterior grounds and architecture—with marble columns, bay views, and Rodin's The Thinker—are as much a draw as the art inside, making it exceptional for photography. Plan your visit for early morning or just before closing to avoid midday crowds and get the best light.
