An amazing museum with eclectic exhibitions that surprise, delight, and educate. Loved the Martin Wong exhibition that closes today! $12 general admission, but free to UC Berkeley students, faculty, and staff AND 18 and under + one adult. Check out the interactive art lab, Babette cafe on the second floor for tasty meals and/or coffee and pastries, and the museum shop.
There is a wonderful exhibit of quilts by Rosie Lee Thompson up right now!
This is a great art museum, housing some of the finest pieces across centuries. They have acrylic and oil paintings from the 1600s and also paintings and items from Science which talk about quantum theory. Alongside they also had a display of minimalist design and craft. It was a nice experience. Their gift shop is pretty good too. Lots of fun things to get.
A fun library section too with the cutest furniture.
Excellent smallish art museum with extremely well curated shows, we did not get to see a film but were extremely satisfied with our afternoon gazing upon beauty and curiosities
Lovely building. Interesting and diverse collection. When we were there they had some art making going on as well in a nice open studio space downstairs. The cafe on the top floor had a nice selection of coffee, teas and snacks.
Quintessential Berkeley museum. Saw feminists, historical Buddhas, and sketches. Good exposure on varied perspectives.
A beautiful art museum with a diverse and expansive collection on display. This was the first art museum I have ever been to, and it was a culturally significant experience. Price of admission isn't cheap but definitely worth for viewing all the galleries. Students get in free too.
Great place for kids/toddlers! There is a reading nook downstairs where they have a small collection of books. In the same room there are building blocks which are also neat. From 2-7, they usually host an art lab where they have pens/markers/glue/stamps. All of this for free!
