The neoclassical building consists of several wings and halls arranged around a central entrance area with columns and broad staircases.
History
The institution was founded in 1914 and moved to its current location in 1929, after John Russell Pope designed the structure. The Cone sisters transferred their private collection in the following years, making the institution one of the most important centers for European modernism in North America.

Visitors walk through rooms dedicated to French avant-garde artists, while other spaces hold decorative arts and traditional African objects.

Admission is free, so visitors can walk through the galleries without advance booking, open Wednesday through Sunday. The rooms spread across multiple floors and require some time to explore all areas.
