Great museum. A wide variety of paintings and almost every painting has additional information about the painting and the artist. They have a lot of paintings from local artists! The museum also has a little reading area where you can read about everything art! The shop is nice also, little trinkets and interesting books and art for sale!

My significant other and I decided to detour and see what Cedar Rapids could add to our adventure. Museums are amazing and full of knowledge and culture. CR Museum of Art did not disappoint. Worth checking out for sure!Photos were taken for informational purposes only,by me. Pieces belong to their respective creators and questions regarding any details of said pieces should be directed to the Museum Curators. Thank you and do yourself a favor and enjoy art in person, no photograph can substitute the experience and atmosphere... Inspiring.

Nice art museum. Love to go to as many as I can. Its not the biggest museum but they had a tone of cool stuff. The gift shop had very pretty large windows. They were in the middle of setting up another show when I was there so one gallery was closed but still had a good time. The shoe exhibit was fun as well

Lovely place to get out of the cold.

Great place to gather with family and friends.

I love this museum. They host really events for kids most months, and their childrens coordinator is awesome. She really connects with the kids and doesnt talk down to them.Art wise, I was impressed by their collection. They have a lot of stuff by people in the midwest, and things are in great condition. I also love what they have in the areas outside the building. I love walking between the library and the museum because of the sculptures.Overall, a really cool place to visit.

A great little museum giving a feel for the land around it from the artists represented. Roman busts and portraits are also on display. There is a lovely library and a wonderful shop. Plus the opportunity to buy a $5 piece of art from the Art-O-Matic dispenser.

Great place to see art and learn from other cultures and stuff !

This is a wonderful, but under appreciated place! The exhibits are very well mounted, carefully chosen, and imaginative. The temporary exhibits are nearly always impressive. I am only in Cedar Rapds a few times a year, but I always visit this museum when I come. The gift shop has many works by local artists and has excellent variety.

A really nice museum. Not so large as to be overwhelming but a very good selection. Large selection of Grant Wood , Marvin Come, and Mauricio Lasansky. Wonderful impressionist collection too.

I loved the Into The Blue exhibition so much! All different artists displayed and tied together just by a color theme. There was so much and they were all so inspiring!Also loved the guy at the front desk. So super helpful and excited about his job and the art we were going to get to see.

Had fun was in Cedar Rapids went ro the art museum

Besides a modest, permanent Grant Wood exhibit, there’s an eclectic collection including Roman art as well other as art from Iowa artists. And be sure to look at the benches. And not to be overlooked are the impressive palms and cycads in the lobby.

This was my first time to the museum. It has a wonderful collection. My teenage daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit!

Smaller museum centered around native son, Grant Wood. More of an emphasis on his earlier works, but has several of my favorites, his undulating Iowa landscapes! Located in the old public library. Fairly small museum but nice collections. Building has been expanded from an original library, portions of which have been preserved, including a reading room which is a nice touch. There are however, some under-utilized spaces.

Cool find! I did not expect to see such great art in Cedar Rapids, but they had many famous artists in their collection. These artists were accompanied by many more local talents as well which brought in many other styles of art and ideas.

This place was a hidden gem the art was awesome

The architecture is as good as the art.

A very fun and inexpensive way to spend the afternoon. Be sure to check out the store, where theres even more local art on display.

It was a good afternoon outing with my son, sister and nephew. There is a lot of pretty pieces and interesting works if art. There were quite a few people and kids so there were loud times but for the most part with the scavenger hunt it engages you.

Its smells! Needs an air-condition! Cool paints.

We were actually just in the auditorium for a work presentation. But great facility, nice acoustics. Great option downtown.

Nice art and gift shop.

A Superb Museum. The curatorial staff have outdone themselves in creating not only exhibitions that work, but also that relate to the larger collection and the cultural heritage of Cedar Rapids. In an area that does not get very much attention for its artwork the museum has nevertheless created a world-class collection.

It was amazing and beautiful. I loved it!

Small but very lovely museum that has a nice set of rotating exhibits. An excellent place if you like Grant Wood, naturally! They also have a nice number of presentations and talks, which make for good repeat visits. Discounts for students are good.

Great asset for Cedar Rapids. I go every couple of years. Or when there is a new exibit. Treat yourself to some culture. Great Grant Wood section.

A great place to stop and check out if you are exploring Cedar Rapids!

Very nice place. Smaller art museum.

The Dean Schwarz display was the first time I had been to the museum. Now visiting on a regular basis to see the rotating exhibits. Well worth stopping not far from 380. Go there

A small but very nice museum. The facility is nice and professional, and while they don’t have very many famous works, but he Grant Wood exhibit is great and they have a variety of other interesting exhibits. Well worth the visit.

Love this place. Probably one of the coolest places to visit in a city without much culture. Lasansky, Cone and Wood on display. Wish it were bigger.

Small museum with some great exhibits. Ticket prices are very reasonable. They also have a nice little library area near the store and a coat room so you dont have to lug it around.

Lovely art that you cant find in the DSM

The whole building is such a pleasant place to be and has a lot to offer. The gift shop has many unique and interesting items, often featuring work by local artists. The lobby has a small but beautiful atrium. The first floor has open lounge areas where I can sit and read for a few minutes between clients. The museum itself is well organized and the staff in knowledgeable. The exhibits change so even if you have been here before you can find something new. Admission is very reasonable so, you can take the whole family without breaking the bank.

The museum itself is well taken care of. There werent that many exceptional pieces. Most of the art looked like unfinished student work by locals. Wont be going back. The area is also under extreme construction.

Great collection of Grant Wood. The other collections are well curated and interesting, but dont come expecting the big name European masters.

Great for works from local artists which is a welcome change from larger galleries trying to out old mastering each other.

Free entrance until Sept 3. My young nephews thought the art was boring, but they loved the trees growing inside the building and riding an elevator. I liked that it was small enough to bring kids. Museum store was cute. I also liked the indoor trees.

Small museum with a fantastic collection.

I went into this museum because it was so hot outside. The fee was $3 for students. I didnt expect much when I went in but the exhibits surprised me. The museum is quite and empty, which was nice and relaxing. A lot of the art are amazing and very well done.

Very nice exhibits, especially Grant Wood. Nice items in the gift shop.

We didnt go into the museum

Mostly modern art. Dont go in with too high of expectations.

I had never visited the museum before, but now I regret not having gone sooner. The exhibits are AMAZING and I will have to become a supporter/patron!

Awesome display of Kennedy era photos right now. Well worth viewing.

Went for fabric painting class. Loved it

Very enjoyable. Didnt have much time to spend but well go back for sure.

Enjoyed the photos of John Kennedy and his family. They were profound, intimate, and impactful.

Plant lovers will enjoy the large tree ferns in the mezzanine.

Very Interesting , Viually Satisfied , Beautiful Plants as Well !

The Roman Exhibit is wonderful!!

This place has some truly beautiful artwork and gives you the space to really take your time to appreciate it.

Great exhibits. Especially Grant Wood

I love this museum. Everyone is helpful. And I love the mix of current Iowa artists with global artist exhibits. The gift shop is fun. I even learned about sponsored free events for adults and children.

The best museum in Cedar Rapids. I wish they had more Grant Wood pieces.

Nice art museum! Enjoyed the Grant Wood and Kennedy exhibits

Bite sized cultural experience, great exhibits and a wonderful gift shop

Loved the layout and exhibits and the staff was so friendly.

Free art Summer!!! Pretty fantastic selection. Some suggestions 1st make it more handicap accessible when I was there, there were a number of wheel chair bound people struggling to get in and out of the exhibit doors 2. The atrim needs updated, the color scheme reminds me of the 80s.

Was very interesting. Had both photography and visual art.

Very small but good museum. How do you not have at least a reproduction of American Gothic?

The WW1 exhibit was absolutely amazing and I would 100% recommend you go and see it for yourself

It was a safe place to rest at night being alone and homeless.

A beautiful yet quaint museum with works of several periods in the history of American painting as well as some foreign painters. I loved seeing paintings of Grant Wood and his contemporaries as this was his home town.

Fantastic realism galleries including Hopper works. Location is grand in middle of downtown and east walking distance to NewBo market. Great way to spend a day.

Quaint place to see unusual art work. Lush greeary in the lobby. Staff made you feel welcome

Did a mini art class there and loved it!

Grant Wood is definitely worth of attention, as well as Lazanskys works.

Fun, exciting and informative.

One of the premier regional museums in the US.

A real corner stone of an area cedar rapids is trying to update and improve.

It was amazing. I absolutely loved it, Ive been in Iowa for 7 years and have never been to any of the attractions here! So my 1st Experience was Amazingly Awesome!!

In my opinion, better than Des Moines art galleries, hands down.

I enjoyed my visit here, however I just wished the transition from one artist to another was a bit smoother

Loved the military stuff. If yourea history buff, buff it like crazy here!

Lovely small art gallery with some fantastic pieces. A must to see!

Interesting and a variety of art. Worth a stop if you are in town.

Nice collection of local artists Grant Wood and Marvin Cohn

Amazing Roman collection!!

Lovely local art museum

Went for family fun day. Kids enjoyed the puppet making and the scavenger hunt.

Nice place to spend some time. They had many interesting pieces of art.

Really nice place to go see great art.

Small museum with nice collection of Grant Woods and Martin Cones paintings.

It was wonderful!

Great customer service. Very friendly staff. Lovely art.

Amazing collection

Lots to see and learn about

Get your Grant Wood on and check this place out. Cedar Rapids favorite son has a lot to look at. When youre done go find all the American gothic statues around town

Absolutely amazing musuem...has frequent free admission, free parking, great location near other points of interest, and fascinating displays!

Its nice place to spend time with your kids and feed them knowledge

Neat place with interesting exhibits, keep up the great work

A little small but worth a visit if you find yourself in Cedar Rapids. Excellent collection

Theres a lot of really amazing art, and everyone at the museum is super friendly and knowledgeable.

Very nice sculptures and paintings and its very big

Free summer admission is great for bringing people in. Good variety of art, both old and contemporary

Smaller museum but some great pieces. Nice collection of Grant Woods pieces.

This is a nice museum that updates their exhibits a few times a year. Nothing groundbreaking but still a nice place to visit once in a while.

Quite interesting.....gorgeous.
