The winter garden alone is worth admission – a glass-domed oasis with palm trees where you can pretend you're Mediterranean. Collections span ancient Egyptian artifacts to French Impressionists without feeling overwhelming. Rodin gets his own intimate rooms; antiquities feel like wandering through Rome. Tuesday evenings are free and surprisingly uncrowded. The winter garden café serves proper lunch, not museum food. Perfect rainy day escape when you need culture without Louvre-sized crowds.
