Founded to foster an appreciation of the arts and sciences, the International Museum of Art and Science hosts an excellent selection of rotating exhibits that visitors of all ages can enjoy. It has a particular focus on Mexican and Latin American art, but there are plenty of pieces from other countries and cultures as well, including 16th-century European art, Japanese woodblock prints, and fascinating contemporary art. Outside, visitors will find a science playground and a peaceful sculpture garden. The museum is open Tuesday through Sunday, and extended hours are held on the first Thursday of each month.
