The Cantor Center for Visual Arts is a beautiful large museum originally dating from 1894. Its collection spans works from ancient civilizations to contemporary art, sculpture (including a Rodin garden) and photography. Rotating exhibits are eclectic in scope, and the new OY/YO letter sculpture out front has drawn considerable attention.
