Super cool date night with the hubby... honestly I would enjoy it better without mask... I wish things were normal again. Great art... not much of a crowd which was nice... remember no flash when taking pictures of the art. We were warned about that.

The Phoenix art museum is simply iconic. The art speaks for itself. The employees are what make the art museum breath life! Everyone is kind and helpful. Everyone from security, ticketing to the docents, they make this place warm and inviting. The art is inticing to come back to but its the employees that make me want to..

Impressive displays.Outrageous talents by some artists. Some displays left me wondering, how the hell did they/him/she manage that? I felt lack of diversity with the museum.I was expecting to see especially Native American art because well its Arizona. Also missing was a section display for African and African American art.

A lot of art pieces to see. Amazing ideas. Makes you wonder.

I became a member. Favorite exhibit of the day. Angela Ellsworth. @landlineangela on IG.

Beauty of an exhibition. And I know. They dont call met Artfunkel for nothing!

I love this museum! The art, the employees, the events, etc. While Im sure theres always work do be done, I feel they try really hard to make this space inclusive and accessible.

My first visit to the Phx Art Museum. I signed up for the monthly experience

We enjoy coming here. For us being members makes absolutely sense as - with kids - we never know whether we are going to stay 30min or 3 hours. Architecturally the building invites to discover the different areas and epochs.This visit the special exhibition’TERESITA FERNÁNDEZ: ELEMENTAL’ was impressive and we would highly recommend to visit it.

Weve visited this museum probably a dozen times. We enjoy the temporary exhibits they provide -- Brazilian art, Oscar gowns, etc. They have discounted prices midweek and monthly. Check those out. Parking is easy and restaurant is high quality and not too pricey. Weve seen several special exhibits there, like a modern Brazilian art show and the hollywood costume exhibit.

We usually like to visit the Phoenix art museum on First Friday because it’s free and open to everyone. This museum has a wide variety of art. My favorite is the light room upstairs.

Great spacious museum. Awesome staff. Interesting art pieces.

Contact tracing and social distancing. Great exhibit of Latino artist. Palette restaurant open.

Layout is confusing, a lot of dead ends or closed halls, and the light installation was closed due to COVID yet the website didnt specify. Artwork they have is okay, some famous names. Nothing too spectacular. If you enjoy art museums, this would good to go to otherwise save your money or go to MIM. Parking was free

I had a wonderful experience at this museum this weekend. Staff were nice and welcoming. I loved their collection of race cars at one of their temporary exhibitions. I also loved their collection of miniature rooms. I highly recommend visiting this museum.

Had a great time with my daughter. Thanks

IM CONSIDERED AN ARTIST FROM N.Y.C. AND L.I. NY. . EMPHASIS ON CONSIDERED IVE SPENT A GREAT PART OF MY LIFE IN ART MUSEUMS . I ENJOY THE ART ON THE STREETS OF PHOENIX . I HOWEVER DID NOT EXPECT TO FIND AN ART MUSEUM OF DISTINCTION WITH GREAT WORKS AND THEMES. IT HAS SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE . I DONT WRITE THIS LIGHTLY ! ART FROM THE PAST , PRESENT , AND HINTING AT ART OF THE FUTURE CAN BE EXPERIENCED AT THE PHOENIX ART MUSEUM . IF YOU HAVE LARGE FAMILY OR FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES YOU CAN VISIT WEDNESDAYS AND PAY WHAT YOU CAN.THERES NO REASON NOT TO . I WOULD RATE IT 5 STAR IF THEY DIDNT HAVE ADDITIONAL FEES FOR CERTAIN EXHIBITS .EVEN ON WEDNESDAY. BUT I REALLY RECOMMEND YOU TAKE AN ADVENTURE THROUGH OUR AMAZING WORLD AT the PHOENIX ART MUSEUM . *WHEN IT RE-OPENS

Toured the museum today with friends to take advantage of two current exhibits - Legends of Speed, and renowned photographer Ansel Adams. This museum is easy to do - meaning large, bright, comfortable, well-laid out, and very importantly, an attentive watchful staff and security personnel who are not overbearing or in your face as can happen (and has happened to us) at other large city museums. The rules are clearly stated and as long as you follow them, you will be left to yourself to experience all that the museum has to offer. Our drive was one hour, and after walking for a couple of hours once there, we soon worked up an appetite and dined (with reservations - I recommend you do this) at the on-site high-end Palette Restaurant - another satisfying experience by the way. The Legends of Speed exhibit was superbly set up and worth the trip alone for us. The Ansel Adams exhibit, while small, offered an unexpected perspective of the famous photographers work - multiple renditions of the same image but with different darkroom techniques applied to draw the eye to different objects within the photo, in effect, showing us how Adams not only mastered his subjects at the time he captured the image, but also how he masterfully manipulated the images technically to achieve a slightly different outcome, at a time when photography was very basic. Entrance fees are quite affordable and they even host days during the week where those with small budgets for this type of experience can pay what they can afford to get in. Phoenix has no shortage of great venues, and the Art Museum stands out, at least to me, as one of the top 10 venues to visit.

Smaller art museum with interesting, eclectic collections and exhibits. As a younger museum, they have robust contemporary and abstract art collections.Yayoi Kusamas permanent installation at the Phx Art Museum, You Who are Getting Obliterated in the Dancing Swarm of Fireflies, is breathtakingly brilliant.They are showing the special exhibition Teresita Fernández: Elemental until January 2021. It is amazing and an incredibly fitting retrospective for display in a desert state. Definitely a must-see if you can make it in time.

Very amazed with the art here and the architecture of the building. Would definitely go again!

Every visit is an immersion into culture, talent and history. Gazing at a portrait painted in the 1600s but well preserved and relevant in 2020. Time may fly but someones vision and talent is still physically presented hundreds of years later. Currently a collection of vintage race cars are also on display. These gems are quite special. Used on the battlefield of motorsport some still have the scars of racing the world over. I visit at least twice a year and enjoy the time spent.

Love PAM!! Such a calm art museum always with an interesting selection of artwork. Excellent docents and staff too. Gotta love the garden too!

Had an amazing time at the Phoenix Art Museum! We were in Phoenix for a concert and needed something to do during the day that would keep us out of the crazy September heat. Found that this location was doing a free family day and decided to go. Paid $5 per person to see the special exhibit and regret nothing at all! The art was amazing, the architecture of the museum was really enjoyable to experience, and the AC was so great. If you’re in Phoenix on a hot day and you need something to do, then go to this museum. Would definitely have been willing to pay more for the experience that we had in this museum.

Love the Phoenix Museum of Art its as good as any other City. They also have a free day.

Lots to see! Very nice and wasnt busy. Their restaurant was a great place for lunch!

There are a lot of displays at this museum, ones that change as well.We participated in the free Fridays event that was going on (the first Friday of every month), and really enjoyed it! It was not overcrowded and there was always something to see.Id be warned about parking, as it is something that goes very quick by the museum!

Loved out! There is something around every corner both inside and outside. Just walking up to the building we got a good amount of photos. It was very informative, colorful and detailed. Ive thoroughly enjoyed our time there and would recommend it to everyone!

Excellent must be visited i will return saludos

I have gotten to visit the Phoenix Art Museum twice while on different trips to the area. The clean structure of the building allows the viewer to focus on the art. There is always a good mix of genres from historical, contemporary, locally inspired, and then several temporary exhibits that tend to be my favorite. Of course the Firefly exhibit is a special one and a unique immersive experience.

The PAM is always intriguing, relaxing, and enjoyable. The architecture sets the tone. This time the entry was an art installation in itself - Black Swarm - all varieties of butterflies and moths made of paper. The Kusama Firefly experience puts you in an ever changing environment of tiny lights than engages your senses. The Flora exhibit has an extensive display of floral theme clothing. Needed more time in there. Lots of other memorable pieces including a huge, gorgeous Stella. The ice cream cone painting was missing this time. It is in storage. Hope to see it next time.

One of the funnest places to go for an inexpensive date! My husband and I used to go every week!

Some classmates and I took a trip here for our Humanities class. This is honestly a lovely museum. They provide free lockers for you to put your stuff in. The staff are very helpful, and friendly. The museum has many pieces of fascinating art for your viewing. After spending time in the museum some of us stopped for a bite to eat in the museums restaurant. The food was absolutely amazing!

Great museum that is free on Wednesdays. Good happy hour (no wait to be seated). Special exhibits were not extra on a Wednesdays. I would recommend for anyone including kids.

I love the Phoenix Art Museum! I cannoy wait to go again.

The museum is worth a visit every now and then. There is free entry on the first Friday in the month. Exhibitions change frequently and there is always something interesting to see. Parking can be a bit tricky in the evening.Great opportunity to see some household names in person (Andy Warhol, Keith Haring,...). There are even events to participate in like drawing.

A Must Visit for All Ages!

I loved this museum. They have many beautiful exhibitions, they change them every so often. Do not take your kids 5 and younger I made that mistake because my son loves art but it was a big mistake kids will be kids and will want to touch everything. So next time I go I will definitely go with my hubby and no kids. Every Wednesday the entrance is free they do ask for donations. Military are free also. They have a nice little gift shop inside. Definitely recommend!

I brought my children here and now I bring my grand children here. Check the website to see when they have free events but I usually come several times a year to see the current exhibits. The parking lot is north of the building. Theres always lots of employees and volunteers to make your visit enjoyable. Make sure you give yourself at least 2-3 hours to walk through all of the exhibit halls. The first Friday of every month the Museum is open from 6pm to 10pm. Its part of the Phoenix Art Walk. This building is wheelchair friendly.

When they open back up go support them. Extremely wonderful display of Renaissance art!!! Thank you

A very great BITE SIZED art museum. Its not very big but still has a great selection of art. I especially enjoyed their american landscape paintings.

The Phoenix Art Museum is an astounding place to visit. Very cool and beautiful place with collection of immersive and phenomenal artworks such as Photography, Latin American and Asian.

Very nice museum with pretty strong modern art exhibitions. When I visited they hosted Yayoi Kusama infinity room of fireflys, which is an interactive experience. As well as some work by famous artists Anish Kapoor, Roy Lichtenstein and Andy Warhol. Plenty of free parking around the building. If you take a walk around, you’ll be able to find some cool sculptures outside. Reasonably priced entry, very polite staff and the gift shop got so many cool items. Worth to visit for sure.

Came here to see Yayoi Kusama’s permanent firefly piece and an Ansel Adams special exhibit. Loved both of these and the rest of the galleries!

I love the Phoenix Art Museum - lots of different genres of art from modern to indigenous to classical European art. Something for everyone! You could spend and hour to all day - make sure to check out the Infinity Room by Kusama.

Fantastic museum ... interesting layout. The exhibits were really cool, and the staff was really nice and helpful. I recommend a visit but please consider it is a large museum and will take up a lot of time if you read signs & want to see everything.

This is a great place for not only family, but even for yourself! Enjoy the beautiful art and uniqueness that is shown on every wall. Even a 7 year old can be amazed by all there is. There is even a special room to explore which will amaze all ages and open ones imagination

Fantastic world class museum in the heart of Phoenix. I visited the museum for the Legends of Speed exhibition and it was very well executed. Vehicles were well positioned, perfectly lit, and had great blurbs describing their significance in motorsports history. The rest of museum was very interesting as well with good mix of art pieces from all over the world.

Very worth it. Gift store is mucho dinero, though. I resisted.

An awesome place for the whole family. I came over from San Diego to visit and had a great time. I would highly recommend it on your next trip to Phoenix.

I was so excited to FINALLY see a Yayoi Kasuma installation. When she came to DC, it was impossible to get in to the exhibit and I was so disappointed. There is one installation in this museum and it was worth going to see. I also enjoyed the rest of the museum. I spent about 3 hours just walking around soaking everything in on a rainy day.

Enjoyed the watercolor Western art! It’s rare to fine any watercolor paintings in Art Museums unless it’s a special exhibit.

Great show. See it before its too late

The Phonix Art Museum is always a blast. Currently has a legends of speed exhibit. One of the cars that they have on display is a Ford Shelby gt40. Last day to see it is March 15th.

One of the most interesting art museums I’ve been to. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that they have a Calder and a Monet. The building itself is very clean and cool to be in. Plus, it’s pretty cheap for students.

We really enjoyed our time at the Phoenix art museum. They have many beautiful exhibitions and great place to relax. Definitely worth visiting.

Tons of art from around the world and eras. Need a day or two to see it all.

Love the Phx Art Museum and I am a member.Instead of a review, this is a suggestion: I think you should do more to promote/advertise the films. I was a member for a couple of years before I came to realize what wonderful films you show. And for the second time, I met someone (just today) who has been a member for two years and didn’t realize/or even know about the films. Is this something of a money-maker, I hope, for the museum?

Beautiful layout and a great diversity of art periods and forms. It was a very exciting and engaging museum and contained quite a few pieces from very well known artist. Also, certain days are free, which makes it even better.

Amazing exhibits and very diverse too.

If its your first time, try ordering their chicken nuggets and whooper and trust me, youll be wanting more! From a regular size burger too big sized burger! Best food chain ever!

This is a great museum. We had only a little time on our first visit but will definitely go back!We had our 4 month old with us and he really enjoyed looking at the butterflies in the main hallway from the entrance and loved the echo of his voice up in the photography section of the top floor. The other patrons were gracious as were the the museum staff. I did not feel that we were unwelcome with our baby, who seemed to be genuinely enjoying his experience. Dont miss Yayoi Kusama’s You Who Are Getting Obliterated in the Dancing Swarm of Fireflies (2005). This is a permanent installation and one of only a few museums in the US with a permanent installation of hers. We went straight there and then worked our way down. The staff was helpful, the restrooms were nice and family friendly (changing tables!) and we had a great time. There is a little free photo kiosk there in the main hallway that you can get snapshots emailed to yourself or friends from which was fun. The gift shop is very nice and had a great selection of items related to the exhibits as well as great stuff for kids! The entry fee is for all day that they are open so we were glad we could run to our appointment and then return to explore more of the featured exhibit. Looking forward to going back soon.

Great art museum, the largest in the Southwestern United States. You can find a collection of art spanning from the Renaissance to the present here. The exhibition of Japanese ceramics is amazing and emphasizes the beauty of nature. The building of the museum is beautiful. I had a really good time here and would highly recommend visiting!

I love going to this Museum, however I must add a caution now for the chemical sensitive folks out there. My husband and I went last week 1/16/20 to see Legends of Speed. However, the museum is piping in, or cleaning with, some chemical that is so harsh, as we continued to the Ansel Adams exhibit, my nose and throat got raw, and I started coughing, we had to leave early because I couldnt breath. Our clothes were saturated with the acidic stench, and even my car seats. Next time Ill take a mask just in case. Yes, Im writing to the museum also.

Very large collection of artworks. During this summer kids and youths get in for free! Exhibits are amazing, I definitely recommend taking kids to enjoy the historical pieces!

Super cool. So much to see!!

A mirror reflection of the ancient world. Preserves the best reflection from the old times. Well conversed and highly well-mannered staffs. Creates an amazing day out experience.

Free admission to active duty military! I like that the exhibits change sometimes

Absolutely amazing collection of some of the coolest pieces of art. Came in late on a Wednesday and there was free admission since the museum was about to close. Note that Wednesday has expanded hours.I highly recommend the special exhibit and some of the modern art pieces were amazing. Its easy to spend over 2 hours here.

A great surprise! All kinds of things for everyone to see, including those who may not normally think they are interested in art. And a great tour from volunteer Liz!

Very nice museum.

Great exhibitions which are really varied so something for everyone, and something new/different for everyone. Loved the mirror room. A special thank you to all the staff, ESPECIALLY Richard the volunteer at the front door who was so pleasant and took his time to greet and be interested in every customer. A* service I hope he receives my thanks and he receives positive feedback and a thumbs up!

We are visiting the area and stopped in. We loved it. The staff / volunteers we encountered were helpful and friendly. Such a great diversity of art pieces. We especially were tickled with the “Firefly” exhibit. We have a permanent Yayoi Kusama exhibit back home at our NCMA, so we are already familiar and in love with her whimsical style. Oh and lunch at Palette was a wonderful break.

We had a great time here. I would go again. The exhibits were well thought out!

Beautiful permanent and rotating collections. There is a wide variety of art to see, so anyone can find something that interests them. The staff is friendly and the place is very clean and well maintained. The garden is a pretty spot to spend some time, too.

A great place get out of the Arizona heat and spend a nice morning/afternoon. They rotate their art pieces fairly frequently, so if you space out our visits you’ll see a plethora of pieces. If you have a Maricopa Community College ID, you get free admission which is awesome! I’m also happy to report that the majority of the artwork they show is photographable, as long as you don’t use flash.

Such a beautiful building inside and out. Open floor plan, beautiful art. Wheelchair accessible and elevators. They also have family bathrooms, to change the kids or even the baby.

Mediocre collection (IMHO). More regional quality than national or international. Collection doesnt support the $23 entrance fee.Nice, modern buildings but the layout and flow is awkward. Pleasant, helpful staff. In and out in 90 minutes.

The current incompetent administration and the trustees that support and cover up for them are destroying an outstanding regional museum. The damage done over the last five years is heartbreaking.

Absolutely love this place! Great Vibes..Great Staff..Cant wait to become a Member. Can you say unlimited visits!?

Its a good art museum. Id rather see more classic art and less modern art personally.

Fantastic museum ... interesting layout. The exhibits were really cool, and the staff was really nice and helpful. I recommend a visit but please consider it is a large museum and will take up a lot of time if you read signs & want to see everything.

The Phoenix art museum is one of my favorite places to go and feed my creativity it’s filled with such a diverse selection of art that never gets old or boring . They have a small admission fee but if you go on Wednesday’s after 3pm it’s FREE .

Nice place! Recommend

Although wanting to visit the Phoenix Art Museum since making Phoenix our new home, I was drawn to visit as not to miss an opportunity to experience the Andy Warhol Exhibit. That exhibit was not a letdown, neither was the Museum as a whole! I was amazed at the size and scope of the institution and its fabulous array of art work on display. The institution has an amazing array of activities abound, depending on how much time you desire to spend there. They offer lectures and talks, varying and changing exhibitions, a fabulously amazing restaurant for this venue, and an enviable layout conducive to the admiration of incredible works that include American and Southwestern art to Contemporary and Latin American showings. My only recommendation to those who wish to enjoy Masterworks from American, Latin American, European and Asian paintings and/or sculpture and even fashion, is to visit their website to best plan your formidable and enjoyable visit. This is a must visit when in the Valley of Sun!

The Phoenix Art Museum is one among my spouses and my non-public preferred nearby spots to visit. The personnel, artwork and building itself may be very remarkable and alluring. Great region

Always great to see exhibits and attend events here, like the AIA AZ design awards Gala

The exhibits are great and when youre looking for a quiet place to get lost in, this is one you should consider! Air conditioning is a plus, but going back to the actual artwork, theres lots of stuff to explore. Paintings, illustrations, photos, little exhibits like the tiny rooms was great to see. I also like the more permanent exhibits like the Firefly Room. Without giving too much away, its one of the best rooms they have! The only downside is if youre looking for a place to eat during your visit, to either buy your lunch there, or bring a car to store your lunch in, because they wont allow food in the lockers. To keep it clean, and so the food wont go bad. But other than that little detail, its a great place to be!

Very cool art Museum in downtown Phoenix

Visited on the pay what you wish Wednesday and it was awesome. So many different styles are showcased.

Something different to do

The current race car exhibit was pretty cool. I definitely enjoyed their permanent exhibit, particularly the Yayoi Kusama exhibit. My other favorite part to check out is the Asian art exhibit and seeing the teapots and cricket containers.

People One of my favorite spots in Az! The staff are always friendly and informative. There is a large variety of art and exhibits. I always pick this museum over others. They have plenty of parking and they offer senior and student discount along with events and reductions for the community. I recommend the Phoenix art museum for art aficionados as well as people just looking for a way to spend the afternoon. Kid friendly as well!

On Wednesday evenings, they offer free night or pay what you can (donation) for admission. I went at this time and think this is a wonderful thing to do. Hopefully more people will be able to have access and learn about art history. Otherwise, it is $25 for an adult.

This wasnt the best museum Ive been to. It wasnt the worst. The café has good food, with somewhat expensive prices (worth a repeat visit). The exhibits from the permanent collection were easy to take in within a couple of hours. I wouldnt return, unless it was to eat at the café.

Love that museums are open

Great clean facility, went for an Artlink meeting, but now I want to go back during business hours

Absolutely wonderful. Great exhibits. Helpful staff.

Cool. The people there are something else though... Enjoyed the art. Did not like the staff at all, my niece and I felt very uncomfortable. The cafe is overpriced, not worth what you pay. Not much diversity in the galleries.

I and my two young daughters enjoyed this museum. We spent 5 hours wandering. This museum doesnt have much entertainment for children that the typical American parent seeks but this has much more to offer in the quiet stillness of the artwork. Though not l all art is quiet. I must recommend seeing the invaders exhibit before it leaves.
