Architecture and the garden are exceptional. Superb views especially the day after a rain or wind. If possible, catch the architecture tour (which is free) and only lasts about 30 - 45 minutes. It is very informative and will change the way you observe the buildings. The garden tour could have been shorter. I don't enjoy their permanent collection, but the photography collection is good as well as their temporary exhibits.
