    The Ever Changing PAFA

    rogersjk recommends this,

    Contrary to the description above, this museum actually "lives" in TWO buildings. The Furness-designed building was joined by the adjacent contemporary Hamilton Building a few years ago. "Ever changing" in the review title refers to their exhibitions. PAFA has a huge permanent collection, but I have also seen very interesting temporary installations, as well as impressive student exhibitions. An intriguing place to check out. There's a great discount coupon for PAFA on this site: http://www.parkwaymuseumsdistrict.org.
