Self-taught artists are the focus of this small museum, and their stories (told in wonderful detail by the wall text) illuminate the art in invigorating ways. You’ll see works from the 18th century to the present; and the breadth and variety of the art can be quite stunning. Most popular objects are likely the quilts, though I prefer the sculptures. The book-and-gift shop is terrific, filled with one-of-a-kind pieces.
