Meander through the indoor gallery, and be wowed by the massive outdoor mosaic structure while you hear city stories from your guide. Next up, catch a public bus for a ride down bustling South Street (weekdays) or iconic Pine Street (weekends), and then walk into historical Queen Village to soak up the charming atmosphere among its narrow streets.
