Jordan Schnitzer Art Museum

John and I have been wanting to travel down to Eugene, OR for a while and we finally got a chance to visit a couple of weeks ago. The main attraction we wanted to see was the Jordan Schnitzer Art Museum, which is located in the middle of the campus of the University of Oregon (home of the ducks). The museum featured several Asian collections, some select but great contemporary art, and a really fascinating special exhibition. The museum also featured an exposed interior courtyard, which reminded me of the courtyard featured at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston.
