I appear to be one of the very few who didn't care for it. As I always note, I'm not an art guy but I like going to art museums- they are uniformly interesting places with great architecture and a nice vibe. I like seeing all of the paintings at a superficial level too- seeing famous and/or interesting works. Loved big ones like the Louvre, the Met, MOMA, and smaller ones like Ft. Worth, Providence (RISD), Cleveland, Buffalo.
I found this one to be so so boring. We left after like 45 minutes. The art is super colonial American so it was endless hallways of old pianos, boring portraits and some landscapes. I think I needed to explore more but I felt like we walked awhile and only saw boring furniture and even more boring paintings. The layout is kind of crowded and overly modern (mallish) as well.
Not sure why I didn't love it and it appears that the whole rest of the world does. But I didn't and I was surprised at how much I didn't like it.
