Very nice museum; affordable family fun. Well curated and exhibits and things for every age and taste. Friendly helpful staff. Nice gift shop as well.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$1–5
Went for the Glass show and loves the whole thing. Lovely pieces.Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entry$1–5
My first visit was very enjoyable. The only part I didn't care for, was the glass canes. Why would you dedicate an entire floor to them? Really could have kept a dozen or so, and put some more works on display. Definitely could use some more information about the exhibits as well. Maybe a program or some cards? But I will be returning for the next exhibition.
I feel this is a very important story to get across. I will preface by saying the museum itself, is lovely. Absolutely no problem with the museum or its presentation. My issue is with unprofessional conduct exhibited by one of the museums employees, named Justin I believe. I was there a few months ago with my girlfriend and my mother enjoying the exhibits. Justin, who I believe is one of the administrators of the museum, approaches my girlfriend and begins enthusiastically speaking with her, and suddenly begins offering work for her. Apparently, the museum is absolutely desperate for help and needs security guards and assistants. He made it sound like they would take any help they could get and it was urgent. So he keeps trying to sell her on coming to work for him as his assistant, not paying as much mind to me or my mother who were also expressing interest in roles at the museum. So we leave, and we all fill out the paperwork to try and do some part time volunteer work there. My girlfriend didn't submit an application because she lives a little too far from the museum, but me and my mother did and turned it in about a week after this first visit. We eventually call Justin to ask if he recieved the applications to which his first response is "What about the girl? Where is the girls application?" Once we told him she did not want to drive the distance he dropped it and suddenly didn't seem to want any help. Help he apparently urgently needed a week earlier. This is what I take from this. Justin sees my girlfriend, a young girl who is just 18, and instantly starts trying to find out all these things about her and tries to sell her on this opportunity to be his assistant. When she doesn't go for it, he apparently doesn't need this help that he made of point of needing badly. That tells me he was just looking for an excuse to have a young girl around for him to stare at and oggle, or God forbid even groom. Me, my girlfriend and my mother are all artists and all qualified for the positions they needed help with. For him to so quickly ignore these applications for help he badly wanted, just shows he was only interested in having this young girl around him to look at. It's creepy, it was blatantly obvious and it's completely unprofessional. Me and my girlfriend both found his backpeddling immensely odd and very telling.
Free museum with a good range of paintings, photographs, and some sculpture. Good place to introduce someone to a limited variety of artwork. Changing content gives you a reason to go several times a year.Visited onWeekdayWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entryFree
Nice museum. Admission is a $3 donation, which is definitely worth it. Due to Covid19, they do temperature checks and provide hand sanitizer when you come in. Just helpful information just in case you are putting off going to museum because of covid. Building looks small but we spent over two hours looking at the art. Lots of displays from artist from Kentucky. There is a stain glass collection, junior artist section, quilt displays and much more to enjoy. You have to try the kaleidoscope cave, which is even fun for the adults. There is sculptures also outside the facility to enjoy.
Museum admittance is free but they encourage a $3 donation. The exhibits included modern day religious art and paintings by Jim Cantrell. The Cantrell exhibit took up the majority of the museum and though interesting, was a bit repetitive. Would have liked to seen different artists. There is a small gift shop with a few hand made crafts and artwork.
Beautiful museum and exibits. Sadly I will probably not fo again because of the creepy Administrator grooming young girls.
Such a charming place! Absolutely gorgeous! The staff is super friendly and very knowledgeable! It is free but you can donate to help keep it going. We loved it, especially the kaleidoscope room Visited onWeekendWait timeNo waitReservation recommendedNoPrice for adult entryFree
Weird vibes from the watchman. We could tell that he was wound pretty tight when we were exploring. Everywhere we walked, he’d come up from behind, or give us a “walk past” to let us know that he was there watching. Even my 11 year old was like, “what’s up with this guy?” Besides him being a distraction and the only damper on our experience, we thought the place was pretty neat, although we would have preferred a few more paintings over so many carvings.
