Phoenix art museum Reviews

This is one of my favorite museums. So many happy memories of time spent as a family looking at the new art exhibits and talking about how it makes us think/feel/react. The curation is wonderful and it doesn't get any better than pay what you want Wednesday. The galleries are vast and cool and it is so much larger than it looks. Such a great place to go to beat the heat. We visit at least once a month and have been for 10+ years. I love focusing on a specific wing each visit and always find something new to see. Make sure you check out the miniatures as they are amazing. The gift store is also very well stocked and has fantastic small gifts for adults and children.

I so love it here. Good day, bad day, any day is better with a stop at the museum. Was in today for the tail end of Rudi Geinrich and also saw Invisibility, which is fairly new.
Such a peaceful yet motivating space to be in. I really can't say enough good things about the museum.

Great place if you enjoy art. They had quite a variety of art from modern art, fashion art, to more traditional renaissance art. It 2as a nice variety and even more awesome is first Friday. If you can't afford the fees you can go on the first Friday 9f the month and get in for free so that everyone has an opportunity to enjoy the art.

The assistive app gives very clear elaborations of everything here. Be sure to carry your earphones and ask how you'll use them. Perfect place to learn about culture, history and human rights violations

Really cool art. We only stayed an hour because we came an hour before closing, but you could definitely spend more time than that here. Don't forget student IDs for the student discount! I loved the tiny rooms exhibit. Super cool.

Absolutely wonderful architectural setting and beautiful collections with tremendous works of fine arts. Essential to visit if you love art and museums. <3 Enjoy a few examples.

Art for everyone, Free entry 1st Friday of each month!

My Wife and I checked this out for 1st Friday which allows free entry. We brought our 3 year old with us and got to see some interesting art.

There's alot of different pieces, from many different era's I'm not an art connoisseur, so I won't pretend to be. But I was fascinated that many of the pieces had some lore or back story behind them. If you are into visual story telling, you could easily spend all day here. Having our 3 year old though means we had to move through the pieces rather quickly.

While there is a kids section, it was closed when we went, although I don't know if that's excluded from first Friday's, or coincidence yet it's something to note.

All in all we had a great experience, and with many different art pieces I'm sure anyone could get something out of this. There's a fashion section, civil rights area, and various other themes. There's 3 floors with connected stairs, and elevators throughout.

This was a great experience for the family especially for free. Check this out on First fridays if you are in the area!

My friends and I went to the Phoenix art museum on a Saturday. Around noon, it was pretty quite. Parking was easy and available. It s a large 3 story museum. Fashion collection exhibition was interesting. It was fun to interact with staff who was doing in person survey and asked us which outfit we would choose and why. Staff was very friendly and always there to provide information, history and answer questions. It s a good way to spend time in Phoenix during hot summer. Spent about 2.5 hours looking through 3 stories. It looked like it could be a nice place for an event venue as well !

I love this museum. If I could I'd live in Yayoi Kusama's You Who are Getting Obliterated in the Dancing Swarm of Fireflies and wander out occasionally to just stare at Spring Flowers by Julius Stewart.
I have no idea why that painting absolutely captivates me. I go just to see it. I've tried to buy prints but they don't have the same captivating feel to them.

Absolutely gorgeous museum, inside and outside. I really loved how spread out this museum is - makes each individual exhibit feel more open and less crammed next to others. The current fashion exhibit about Rudy Gernreich is just spectacular people were generally pretty quiet, which was nice to be around. Ample parking!
