The understated exhibits of this Holocaust museum, one of the country's largest, present mid-20th-century events with moving directness. Temporary, contemporary art exhibits loosely related to the Holocaust and other human rights issues are also displayed. Note: if your car is left in the parking lot a minute past 5pm, it will likely be towed.
