We've been admiring art there since it opened in 2003. When Cooper was very young, he met (the now late) Ray Nasher at the center and told him "thank you" for the collection.
Steve and I had a membership one year -- his final year on earth, actually. I wanted Steve to be able to enjoy the beauty whenever he wanted, even if only for a 10-minute visit. (I love the memories from this visit.)
The first Saturday of every month is free, thanks to a partnership with Target. The day always includes hands-on activities, story time and family tours.
Cooper, Katie and I visited for about 90 minutes on Saturday morning -- before the heat was unbearable and before a birthday party (for Noe) and a visit with friends (Jackie and Sydney).
