This is the largest museum of Mexican or latino culture anywhere in the US - and I think might be the only officially recognised one... It sits on Harrison Park in an almost entirely latino part of town. There are apparently 6,000 artefacts and objects on display here including paintings, photography, textiles and some really great folk art. Its well worth a look in

The four seasons mosaic wall by Marc Chagall is an extraordinary work. Not just becasuse of its size - though at 70 ft long and 14ft high, it is really imposing - but also for its vivid colours and fantastical characters, all of which are impressivly achieved in the medium of mosaic!

This is great place to wander about, buy some tasty things to eat or just sit and watch the world go by. There's a great art exhibition space there too where you can buy the works and last time I got a great piece that reminds me of my lovely holiday every time I look at at it.

My partner just loves japanese art and we were astonished to find some in Corfu! This delightful museum is in a gorgeous building and has some lovely pieces. A pretty and quiet place to spend the afternoon.
