Hey, I used to work there. I was part of the massive effort to gear up for the new building. I attended meeting after meeting after meeting about it. And I hadn't gone and seen it! I've gone to special exhibitions where I just go and see a few galleries but hadn't visited the lovely pieces I knew like old friends in their new home. I cannot praise enough the new galleries. I have a few quibbles here and there but overall they've done an amazing job and it seems churlish to complain about minor issues.
It's still often B-pieces by A-artists but they're making some real strides. The Rembrandt paintings are GORGEOUS. They have an excellent collection of Remingtons that is displayed to great effect. The Tiffany window is stunning in its new home. I had an excellent time and recommend it as a "OMG, it's wicked hot outside but I'm going stir-crazy at home" activity. I think you'll really enjoy yourself.
