You will also have an opportunity to view the permanent collections in the museum including:
- Diverse Art Spheres: Collections span American, Asian, European, Latin American, Western American, and Modern/Contemporary art.
- Fashion Design: One of the few U.S. museums with a dedicated fashion collection, featuring over 9,000 historic and custom-couture garments.
- Fireflies Infinity Mirror Room: A permanent, immersive, and highly popular installation by legendary artist Yayoi Kusama.
- Sculpture Garden: The Bennett and Jacquie Dorrance Sculpture Garden provides a massive 40,000-square-foot outdoor art space.
