A museum is a way to learn about different cultures and heritages. We need a place to acknowledge our differences and embrace those learned differences. This event opens the door to diminish the divide between us all. Great museum with great programs for children. The museum host galas, brunches, book signings and other events. I'll always come back!

We decided to visit the museum to see their 'Monet to Matisse' exhibit. I checked occasionally in…read morethe week leading up to our visit. Their website displays how many tickets are remaining for the day. I wanted to ensure this wasn't selling out for our day, in which case I'd have bought tickets in advance online. However, they still showed over 1000 tickets available the day before, so I opted to just buy them at the museum. We had issues with navigation in Birmingham already, and those continued en route to the museum. For whatever reason, the app directed us over a mile beyond downtown and then had us get off the highway, cross the overpass, and double back (?). We actually switched apps a bit later as we were sure there was an issue. We eventually found the museum, though. It wasn't obvious from the front, but apparently the museum does have its own free parking lot behind the building. We ended up parking in a deck a few blocks away, but thankfully that only ended up costing us $3. The museum is normally free for entry, I believe. Donations are encouraged. However, for special travelling exhibits, there was a charge (about $25 per person). This was handled at a kiosk just outside the exhibit. We toured the exhibit and enjoyed it. Works were arranged in 3 large rooms. It was crowded, but manageable. After seeing that, we opted to check out some of the permanent collection before leaving. On the upper level (where we were) there are several rooms devoted to Asian arts (samurai armor from Japan, jade and buddha statues from China, etc.). Korea and India were also represented. If we'd had more time, we would have explored more on this floor. We descended to the first floor and checked out some of the European galleries as well as the end of the wing that is devoted to American art. They had interesting works on all these areas. If I lived in the area, I'd likely come here to check out the permanent collection. Maybe we'll be back at some point to see more of it. This was well worth stopping by if you like art. (I will limit my photos to the permanent collection.)

I would definitely recommend this venue to anyone who's hosting a shower, wedding reception, birthday party or any event.

I found their website in a Google search because I was looking for a signed addition of Bryan Stephenson's Just Mercy. I couldn't believe my luck when the signed edition was the same price as any other unsigned copy. I had stumbled upon a treasure trove of fantastic books all signed by their authors selling for the standard list price. Of course they have some extra special books that are collectors items and a bit more expensive. Those are featured on a different part of their website. Today I opened my signed copy of Jon Meacham's "And There Was Light". It's the perfect gift for book reading friends. One day I plan to make a pilgrimage to the store and actually shop in person. Until then I will continue to receive their emails and check their website.
