Description

Beyond the historic rooms, the museum hosts rotating exhibitions in its Beaux-Arts building, where past displays have explored the lives of figures like Mozart. A leisure visit of about two hours allows time to wander the galleries, view the garden's lioness statues, or browse the gift shop for collection-themed books and accessories. The experience changes on Friday evenings starting at 5:30 PM, when the museum hosts free admission hours paired with live jazz on the first floor.
