I love that this is in the old asylum. It has a very interesting vibe. I wish the displays had a bit more to do with the history of the asylum or psychology in general. The displays are all kind of random and non-topical but still enjoyable. They do have a bit of a section up front on the right after entering that has some stuff on display about the building itself. I liked that.

Went a lovely art opening. Building is rich with history

The Kennedy Museum is a unique art museum in the fact that resides in the central admin building of a Kirkbride asylum. The museum only holds a few exhibits at a time, but is free of charge so is worth a visit.

Years ago was the mental hospital. Lot of family retired from there. Ohio university is renovating alot of the buildings. Very nice

Such beautiful displays. The architecture is grand, inside and out of the sanitarium.

I visited the Kennedy Museum of Art while visiting Athens, Ohio from Cincinnati with my fianée for Thanksgiving. My fiancées mother, who lives in Athens, took us to the museum on our first day in town. I loved the museums layout and was absolutely giddy walking through the special exhibition of collections. So, cool. I was also fascinated to learn the history of the location (a former asylum). I only hope the museum continues to grow and add more exhibits in the near future.

Great place to visit. Its history is an assylum.

I love going here when exhibits change, a few times per year. Its in my favorite place on campus for an afternoon out.

I will always love this place! Its a quiet, tucked away, fascinating museum. The exhibits change every few months so you can visit several times a year and see new things. Its also free (donations welcome) and they have a small gift shop area with t-shirts and books.

Small place but good collection..

I have no doubt that this *will* be a fantastic place once they acquire more pieces to exhibit and complete the restoration of the building. As it is now, there just really isnt much to see. The grounds are fascinating, though - theyre a former asylum.

Wonderful exhibits in a fascinating location at the historical site The Ridges, also known as the Athens Asylum

Nice museum in an old State Mental Hospital

Impressive architecture. Admission is free. Exhibition is a bit sparse. Allow about 30 minutes to see it all.

Not much to see here. Mostly just one or two small exhibits and blue prints of the original building. Can walk through the whole thing in a few minutes..dont do the ghost tour, the guide doesnt actually believe in ghosts and just tells personal stories from when he worked at the ridges. The stories are only funny or interesting to him as they are all personal quips between him and co-workers..

Amazing place. Beautiful view surrounded hy the green hills

Wonderful museum with multiple art and history exhibits. LOVED the Passionworks exhibit. This is a great place for Athenians and visitors alike to check out, spend time and enjoy!!

A diverse collection of art in part of a fantastic historical building that must be seen if visiting Athens, Ohio

A small but nice place with about 2 floors of exhibits. Quiet place for contemplation.

What a beautiful building

Beautiful museum Free of charge!

Small museum with a few high quality exhibits. Very nice if you only have a short amount of time.

This museum is not a place for kids. Its nothing but a sex museum. Sex toys and nude pictures is not art. Need to put up a posting that states what it consists of so I dont have to try to explain it to a 6yr old. Very distasteful to say the least, and the University runs it, just goes to show what they are all about.

Beautiful and quiet.

We love this museum that showcases this little piece of Athens history! Its good for kids and families but also fun for individual contemplative ventures.

Nice building. There were only 2 exhibits open during my visit, so dont try to waste an afternoon.

A very small yet impressive museum occupying the ground floor of the main administrative segment of the original 1874 structure, and one small hall of the second floor. The current exhibition included numerous paintings, historical collection pieces, and films, and is well worth the time to visit. Admission is free, but there is a small recommended donation. Allow about an hour for the museum, and another hour for The Ridge grounds, which are also worth walking around.

Very interesting place. Took my clients there. Handicap accesibility was a little hard

A small but interesting collection of local and rotating art.

AWSOME ART MUSEUM! THE HIDDEN GARDEN EXHIBIT IS BEAUTIFUL!

Very awesome I would love to see the whole building

Great collection of mid-century Hatian art.

Accessible museum for everyone!

Great variety of exhibits in a beautiful building

Saw the new display. Loved it

Beautiful peaceful museum in a gorgeous old restored building from the 1800s. Free to visit with constantly changing exhibitions.

Bring Back the tour of the asylum buildings.

Check the website for updated info.

Beautiful, yet very creepy.

Was a pleasant peaceful visit

This is an amazing museum in the old historic Lunatic Asylum at the Ridges at Ohio University! Do yourself a favor and check this place out next time you are in Athens

Neat old building. Used to be an Insane Asylum

A little small but still woth the visit

If you want to kill time, this could be a short drive from the university. Not much of art is there... probably you will take 45 minutes max to review everything...

Nice

Awesome experience

Small, but great

Awesome to see!
