The Dayton Art Institute

We loved the collection of art here. The pieces represent a sample of art from all around the world. We enjoyed the special origami exhibit; however, we did think there would be more pieces. There's a lovely open air courtyard in the center of the building and also a pretty indoor space perfect for weddings or formal gatherings. The museum is easy to navigate with a wheelchair or stroller, if you are considering taking children or handicapped individuals (except the open air courtyard, that was steps only for us). Overall, a nice place to visit.

My happy place in Dayton. I love the architecture and the beautiful pieces hosted by the Dayton Art Institute! The layout is gorgeous and there is ways an exciting featured exhibit. There is always something new to see and new to learn about each time I visit. It's absolutely beautiful!

The museum is very nice. Has some interesting pieces. The building itself is a work of art. Went and they had a special exhibit for the month that was origami art. Would not recommend wasting money on that part. The rest of the museum is well worth it.

Beautiful and peaceful, inside and out. Take your time, notice the details, and think about when or why each piece was created. It is a creative and quite place to let your mind roam the nature of human existence throughout history. Great for inspiration, relaxation, and viewing the world as something much larger and personal than our fast paced society leads you to believe.

The Dayton Art Institute contains an impressive collection of fine art spanning an incredible depth and breadth of works from all ages; in a beautiful setting. From the Mayans to Monet. From Renaissance masters, (my personal favorites), to modern genius, it's all on display. A great way to spend a rainy afternoon or the whole day; any day. You will not be disappointed.
