The French collection contains Impressionist and post-Impressionist paintings by Cézanne, Degas, Gauguin, Matisse, Monet, Picasso, Pissarro, and Renoir. The contemporary collection has works by Jenny Saville, Nick Cave, Sylvie Fleury, John McCracken, and Dahn Vo. The Chinese collection contains more than 200 bronzes, jades, and ceramics, as well as monumental Buddhist sculptures. Allow about 2 hours to see this museum. Every Friday night after 4pm is Art After Dark, featuring music, film, special tours with curators and docents, hands-on art activities, a cash bar, and menu options from The Restaurant, a gorgeous mid-century modern space with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the garden, which features works by the likes of Fernand Léger.
