Seattle Art Museum
The Seattle Art Museum features contemporary art, Northwest coast native American art, Old Masters and African masks, along with rotating exhibits of works from their 21,000-object Seattle Art Museum collection and frequent traveling exhibitions.Some criticize, saying Seattle Art Museum tries too hard to please everyone with too many different kinds of collections and in the process the Seattle Art Museum fails to cover anything in depth. However, the variety means there's something at the Seattle Art Museum for every taste.
