Sure, Tucson Museum of Art probably garners some votes based on its name ... it is the Tucson Museum of Art after all, so there's good reason to give the place a vote in the "Best Art Museum" category. But on the other hand, TMAs combines being a great place to see art—both in the regular collection and the always excellent special exhibitions that they show—and being a significant public space, hosting fundraisers, concerts and other events on their grounds. Tucson, a great town for art, deserves a great museum. Thankfully, we have one in the heart of downtown.
