Parking - surface lot located behind the building. Must pay at manned toll booth to park. It was $10 cash. Museum Entrance fee - We paid $18 each which was a Senior 55+ discount. I'm not old enough to qualify, and I protested, but the clerk thought I looked old enough anyway. Sigh. Exhibit placards were in English, French, and Spanish. Very helpful! Pompeii exhibit was spartan, but I learned so much more because I wasn't overwhelmed by hundreds of items on display. Items shown were labeled and those that were most interesting included a longer description. Free audio tour included, but you need to bring your charged cell phone and ear buds. The QR code at the entrance takes you to a web page with videos numbered. When you see the earphone and number on a placard, you play the corresponding video. Most of the videos were NOT worth my time. They were simply sound effects without any helpful information about the object. It was free, but of no educational value. Some of the exhibits had an electronic display depicting how a tool or machine worked back in the day. These were very enlightening when they actually worked. There were a few that were not functioning sadly. I really didn't want to drive an hour to and from Arlington. I was intrigued by the Pompeii exhibit, but I would not have come if I had to drive. Thankfully my husband nudged me out the door and braved the traffic which was heavier than normal for a weekend. I enjoyed the Pompeii exhibit. It was small, but nicely done. The gift shop had some fun items. We didn't buy anything, but the "Floor is made of lava" shirt and the Great Art Nudes coffee cup were funny gag, gift items that I seriously considered purchasing. There was a limited selection of items, but entertaining to window shop nonetheless. If you are in the area, definitely consider stopping here for an hour to view the exhibits.

5/5 stars for the MC Escher exhibit. Ultimately, this is why I was here and I thoroughly enjoyed…read moreit. I have been a fan since I was in middle school and they had a very large collection that was well curated. Why three stars then? The actual atmosphere of the museum sucks. It takes up half of what used to be the exhibition hall at the Old Arlington convention center. And it looks like it. It also sounds like it. When we were here the other half of the area was being used for the Smurfs experience. Which I totally support and there were lots of young people having a blast. And you could hear all of them. A long with sounds from their experience. I love museums, but they have a certain type of atmosphere for a reason. They were in the old JC Penny building in downtown Arlington for ages. It was old and rather worn, but it didn't feel like you were in a convention hall, I preferred it. Also, parking is $10. Didn't see that on their website, and it would be helpful when you were looking up the location that they mention they are inside the esports arena or the old convention center. It isn't obvious.

It's such a feel good feeling to have when you read about their brave and courageous stories. When you first arrive, the design of this structure is pretty modern day artsy. The lobby is huge and is free to roam around. Try looking on Groupons for deals on the tickets, otherwise, once you get it, you'll be escorted upstairs to watch an amazing well put together video of these heroes. Once the video is over, you exit out into the 2nd floor where all the history and stories are. Even though, I enjoyed reading some of these heroes, I just don't like reading much so I walked through it pretty fast. My kids enjoyed it more than I did. They have a small little goft shop and a cafe in the back area. There is a banquet hall type of area, but I'm not sure how that all works. The staff are very friendly and informational. There is a lot of free parking available. The surrounding areas of this property is just beautiful. There's a large pond in front of the Rangers stadium. It wasn't so busy so you don't feel rushed when you're roaming around.
