San jose museum of art Reviews

During my visit the muesuem was preparing for new installations but what was available was very beautiful. It was a short trip but enjoyable.

Love the San Jose museum of Art. The exhibits are regularly updated, they contemporary, and have a local connection frequently. It's a high quality museum right in San Jose.

Modern art, mmmm, what was that. Some of the pieces require you have a BFA to enjoy, but overall it is an art museum in San Jose. You could do better in San Francisco, but who wants to drive to Urinetown and get mugged by the homeless. So in that context, it was a nice time for the hour or two we spent there. There is a coffee shop and you can sit by the windows of this old house that part of the museum is built on. Go see it and enjoy yourself an enjoy some coffee after. The outside may be crawling with homeless and their pit bull dogs, so hold your kids close to you.

Admission is free on the first Saturday and Sunday of each month if you have a BOA card(credit or debit). Please present your card on site. Please note that the underground parking lot in the same building is publich but it is $12 per hour. I'm a little disappointed that there are very few works on display.

It is more like a set of digital photos and collages. Very different from what I had expected.

This is a small museum space with some nice unique installations with a distinct bay area ethos. Some areas were closed when I visited yesterday , but that's ok since there's still lots to look at. We also ate at the cafe which was good with friendly staff and gives you energy to take in the works. Museum store also was nice to browse through.

Very well lit and spacious but not all the type of modern art that I'm really interested in but for $10 can't complain much. Lots of renovation and exhibit closures. Highly recommend the Tech Interactive Museum

Pleasantly surprised by this place!
I typically don t enjoy contemporary art but their exhibits had a good balance of paintings and sculptural pieces.

Not a huge establishment but you can easily spend an hour in there

Friendly staff and curator who proactively share with patrons

Very accessible by public transit if you don t want to park dt.

I want to give this place more stars because I really support art, especially in my city. But our experience was just okay. The museum is very small, but very beautiful on the inside. The architecture is lovely and the flow is nice. Unfortunately, when we went, several of the display rooms were closed for new installations. Which made it even smaller. :( Upstairs, there was a really bizarre exhibit of modern art. It was cool to see something different, and it was very well presented, but it was a bit dark and twisted for my liking. I would love to come back when there's an artist that I like displaying their work.

Good mix of contemporary artists and media. Fun video installations at present: one set in a TRON-style room and another two lifesize brides reflecting on life.
