Phoenix Art Museum

I went to the Phoenix Art Museum with my friend James a couple of years back. I checked out the tickets (cultural passes) from the Mesa Public Library so my friend and I were able to get in free. I love that the Phoenix Art Museum offers this perk to people who live in the Valley! I'm not sure whether or not they are still listed as a place you can visit for free at the Phoenix Public Library or Mesa Public Library, but if they have a Cultural Pass for it, I would definitely check it out! My friend and I went when there was an exhibit focusing on Asian arts. There were all sorts of exhibits from various parts of Asia but a lot of the focus was on pieces from China, South Korea, and Japan. They had the regular museum pieces too (like the hanging metal sculptures and so on) so it was fun to check those out as well. There was a neat exhibit where you could walk into this dark room which had a bunch of lights and it was like you were walking through the galaxy. It was really cool! I was surprised at how large the museum was. There is a lot of stuff to take in and enjoy. There are some neat sculptures outside of the museum too which I took some time to look at before entering the building and also when I left. I definitely recommend checking out this museum if you get the chance. They always have a lot of interesting things on display and there are a lot of exhibits to view.

Came on the first day me and my boyfriend got to phoenix. Really didn't know what to expect. Spent about 2 1/2 hours. We were surprised it's actually pretty big. They have lots of different types of art. Some are interactive, not a lot are tho. Still they were really nice and we really enjoyed it. They offer student discounts.

I brought my children here and now I bring my grand children here. Check the website to see when they have free events but I usually come several times a year to see the current exhibits. The parking lot is north of the building. There's always lots of employees and volunteers to make your visit enjoyable. Make sure you give yourself at least 2-3 hours to walk through all of the exhibit halls. The first Friday of every month the Museum is open from 6pm to 10pm. Its part of the Phoenix Art Walk. This building is wheelchair friendly.

One of the most interesting art museums I’ve been to. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that they have a Calder and a Monet. The building itself is very clean and cool to be in. Plus, it’s pretty cheap for students.

Easy to get to. Ample parking. Beautiful facility. Friendly staff. I enjoyed the European and Modern/Contemporary galleries the most. Cool miniature room. Disappointed that many galleries were closed when I visited (March 1). I’d say 1/3 of the museum was in transition. Just two sculptures in the “sculpture garden”, no Picasso or Rodin on display as listed on website. No notice on website that I could see. Pricey ($18) given such closures. Will try again another time.
