I visited the Speed Art Museum during a travelling impressionists exhibit. I was very impressed with the museum itself. The volunteers were extremely knowledgeable as they led visitors around and told about the paintings. There was adequate parking in the area. The gift shop offered a nice variety.
This museum is very nice. It has a lot of different types of art and many different exhibits. I don't think it's a good place for kids, but is a nice place for adults to visit. The admission price is reasonable, it's definitely worth a visit. It is very clean and in a nice area. Stop on by!
