This little FREE museum has fantastic mesoamerican, Roman, and Byzantine art and artifacts in a beautiful setting. The attached gardens are not free but are a beautiful designed landscape mix of formal gardens and designed wilderness. Well worth the visit.
Surprisingly well curated museum of Byzantine art and pre-Columbian gold art. Provides a good value with free admission. Similar museum of pre-Columbian gold in San Jose, Costa Rica, is quite expensive for similar quality collection. Since museum opens about two hours before the gardens, I have combined the visit following way: museum first, then gardens at 2pm with lunch on nearby Wisconsin Ave French bakery fit in between.
Only from 2pm to 5pm !!! Not indicated Come for nothing
