A waterfall of vibrant colors and bold patterns cascades upon you while you make your way through the mazes of racks of statement pieces.

What do you see when you look at the Mona Lisa? Do you see a mediocre looking woman, or a wonderful, timeless piece of art? What about Jackson Pollock’s Nov. 5, 1948?
