//My experience//: I grew up on Long Island and visited this museum numerous times throughout my teenage years. When I was 15, my best friend was hired to play piano during a show opening, and I got to see my first Jeff Koons. I adored walking through the gorgeous estate and grounds, especially the Calder stabiles!
