Make a visit of it
The free-Friday crowd is a mix of art lovers, professionals, and day-trippers. The exhibitions rotate between contemporary Asian art and historical pieces. The building itself -- by Edward Larrabee Barnes -- is a sleek 1981 gem.
After: Jones Wood Foundry (bar, $$). 76th between 1st and york, 6 min walk east. british gastropub with a hidden garden out back. fish and chips and a pint for under $20. feels like a proper london local.
