Museum of Art & Photography (MAP)
Five-floor, ~44,000 sq ft private museum opened February 2023, with 20,000+ artworks across six departments, a sculpture courtyard, a research library and tactile and audio-guided access.
Why it’s worth it
Tuesdays are free for everyone, and the building was designed with accessibility in mind (tactile works, audio guides), across from the Government Museum and VITM.
