Once youve seen the Rockwell art youve seen it. So better for tourists who havent been there, and you can show them around. HOWEVER, it is worth a second and third and fourth visit because of their events and guest artists. Spiderwick Chronicles illustrator Tony Deterlizzi was there once. Fantastic. Recommend.
