Smallish, but discerning museum. Permanent collection includes one Botticelli/Ghirlandaio altarpiece, some 19th-century tapestries, and - apparently - some Rubens. Also a very interesting room of 18th-century English portraiture. Rotating exhibitions also very interesting; in January 2006 they had a great set of paintings by a Chilean artist.

Updates
The Bass Museum rotates its collection through its gallery space on a regular basis - so the English portraiture isn't on display any more, there's a room of fin de siecle Austrian objects and paintings. The alleged Rubens is still there - looks pretty convincing to me!
