Incredible free museum made out of stunning travertine marble imported from Italy. The Architecture tour and Garden tour are WELL worth the 30 - 40 minutes each tour lasts, and they are offered multiple times throughout the day. Pack a picnic and bring a blanket because there is lawn space to enjoy some down-time on. Parking is $15, but if you show up by bike, foot, or bus, it'll be totally free!
