So many fabulous exhibits. We couldn’t see everything in one day so we focused on the impressionists, American furnishings, the galleries are spacious, not as crowded museums on the coast. Full review by GrandTour31049769877

There are very very few benches in the galleries at the AIC. And NONE in the Georgia O'Keefe exhibit. One of the guards said there used to be several benches in that gallery and she didn't know why they were removed. The AIC is now closed 2 days a week and the hours are shorter. It's a disgrace for one of the premier art museums in the world to treat its members and visitors with such disrespect. I canceled my membership years ago for this reason. The many disabled and older folks deserve better. June 14,2024
