This is more a library than anything else specializing in arts, architecture & related subjects.
The patios are very beautiful

Great place to read, do homework and if you have children they also have workshops for the little ones just keep an eye out for the FB page.

It is a beautiful and relaxing place. They have tables you can use for meetings or doing some work. Their book collection is very good. I wish I had plenty of time there to read more. They have beautiful plants and lockers to leave your stuff. There was also a gallery.
The restrooms were clean.

Relaxing vibe. Library was closed on Sunday, but opens during the week. Free admission. The building is very charming and the artwork on exhibit is quite varied and very local. This is a great place to come to to get a sense of the art scene.

Walked here on a Saturday afternoon in early July 2023. The institute was free of charge to enter. It had one very small gallery and a library.
My partner and I explored the facility and it took us all of five minutes to see the place. Would not recommend coming here if you're looking for some time to kill. Although it was small, I did find it to be very cute.
Drop by if you're in the area but do not go out of your way. This place is mostly for students looking for a place to study. The courtyard was very quaint. Would not recommend coming here if you're a tourist. I did not notice if the place has air conditioning but I doubt they do. Beautiful place to come here to study though. I did not see any other tourists there.

Not so secret hidden gem if you're looking for a free and quiet place to work or read. Pretty empty usually and the space is picture perfect.

Really loved it in here.
The book collection is amazing and the staff really respect how the books are treated which is nice, there's also a sweet little shaded courtyard out the back with plenty of seating so you can take a break from the hot sun. (And also free toilets!)
In indoor art collection is also amazing, so much to look at.
