Full description
Arter is a non-profit art space presenting modern and contemporary art in a purpose-built, architecturally distinctive building. Exhibitions rotate, so the visit changes with the season, and reviewers compare its feel to the New Museum in New York.
It also has a well-liked gift store. Entry has been described as free on Thursdays and for visitors under 24, and one reviewer noted the visit is not usually crowded.
Plan roughly an hour, depending on what is on, and expect a stylish, current atmosphere that suits contemporary art fans.
