Many different styles of art. Nice selection of Latin American carvings several statues, Rodins sculptures, modern art, vases, wooden animals and mask.

It was peaceful, pleasant, and very comfortable. The whole building felt like an art piece. Wonderful variety, something there for everyone. No matter whether youre there for history, culture, art, the whole ensemble had it all in droves.

Fabulous visit to the AZ Biennial Exhibit. TMA reservation system works beautifully. Dont miss it.

The Tucson Museum of Art is a wonderful gallery and a must visit. It has a great collection of local and national artists as well as some classics. Set in a beautiful building, you wind your way through different themes and special exhibitions. Great value and an amazing place to see this beautiful part of the world through the eyes of many inspirational artists!

The museum was under construction during our visit, but the areas that were still open were great. The gift shop though?! SO. HOT. I felt hot though the whole tour, but it was 104° outside and I just never seemed to cool down with all of the lights.There are some amazing works that youre going to want to spend a lot of time looking at. Like the piece in the second photo. Every inch, something new to see.

I love Art! So ... this was a great place to go. Beautiful Museum, broad range of Art.

I am not an art expert. The museum helped to expose me to some culture and show me the arts. This museum also participated in the Blue Star Museum initiative to permit active duty military access to museums. Thank you for showing us the arts.There were many displays in this museum in the guts of Tucson. It is much bigger than it looks outside. It has many levels with different medias of artwork ranging from sculptures to paintings. The local artists present a wonderful depiction of southwestern lifestyles. Take the time to escape the heat and absorb the amazing achievements of humankinds gift of God given artistry.

Usually very enjoyable but since construction is going on a lot of the exhibits were closed.... And you couldnt see all the wonderful art they have. They should really only charge half price since you can only see half of the exhibits right now. Its not that expensive to get in but I think it would be great customer service while under construction. I still love the museum and would definitelyrecommend it to others. Ill will most definitely go back..... Only after the construction when I can enjoy the whole museum. We were able to take a few good photos .

Fee was reduced because some exhibits were being changed. Was an amazing exhibit. Looking forward to going again and seeing new artwork.

I went during one of the free events. I was lucky enough to enjoy live music by Jovert, Tucson Highs steel drum band. There were young and old having an awesome time. There was also crafts and crafts for the kids. I only had a short time to view some of the works of contemporary masters, as well as modern and Native Artists.

Talkative docent was very nice and the museum is bigger than it looks. The exhibits here were great especially since its free for AZ residents.

Ecclectic pieces well displayed on a downward spiral route thats easy on the feet. Lots of stuff to Google for more info. Rodin, Chagall, Monet and Cassatt to name a few. Worth the time and effort. Enjoy!

Outstanding space and variety of exhibits. The Museum even has a small cafe on site to grab a drink, snack, or meal. The current Exhibit was just starting the day we were there and a welcome surprise for sure. Grab a Membership and you get access here and in tons of other Museums all over the USA and International.

For town this size, this museum can really stand in its own two feet. Its architecture is stunning, and the exhibits inside are remarkable. From structural art to famous paintings, this place really showcases a wide variety of art forms.I think what I was most surprised by that it seems to have a little something for everybody. I tend to enjoy most styles of Arts so this isnt a problem for me, but for people who are looking for more of a singular and whole experience, and to really dig into one particular type of art, this might not be for you. But I can say that some of the exhibits are very remarkable, and have some very reputable artists inside them.

They were doing some renovations when I was here but on the upside it was very silent in there and they have a great diverse collection.

This is a museum that will soon be changing as it was recently endowed with $2.5MM, the largest donation it has ever received. The layout is a staircase that goes downwards, similar to the Guggenheim. The docents are amazing and really the main attraction at this museum, so go on a tour.Excited for the future of this museum!

Sorry, this was a bust. We had heard there were Mata Ortiz pots on display, but nobody could tell us just where they were in the museum. Poor exhibits made the visit completely NOT worth the entry fee. The gift shop area was more interesting than the museum!

Museum has free entrance on second Sunday of each month for residents of Arizona. The the current exhibit, THE WESTERN SUBLIME: MAJESTIC LANDSCAPES OF THE AMERICAN WEST was lovely although we would have liked to see more work by underrepresented groups.

I love the more modern approach to South Western art! Very glad to see they have works from as recent as 2017+!!! You can still get the classic vistas and cowboys milling about, but you also get modern abstract and photography.

This new upgrades and remodeling is absolutely incredible. There is so much depth the the layout and architecture. The building itself is art and the actual artwork ranges from different genres and colors and ideas all molded into unique masterpieces all in themselves. If you havent been I recommend checking it out!!

They are undergoing renovations till the end of October. We didnt know and went anyways to find they had two free exhibits open; two different historical houses. They were very nice and the staff were very friendly. They seemed like they loved their jobs. That made it a nice experience even though the main building was closed.

WoW!! A beautiful, eclectic and intriguing collection! We especially like the feature exhibition

Loved the diversity of art everything from statues to landscapes and abstract paintings were displayed... loved the cultural sections as well.

Amazing. Even the building layout was awesome. Loved the ramp. Friendly workers. There was a really cool event at the muesem today. Even though not all the art was my favorite, there was an epic variety. Art for everyone.

This museum is amazing. There is so much to see, and so little time.Pros: The art exhibits are exquisite. Theres a manual that you can refer to for each item on display. Every room has a different feel, and you know what you want to do at the very beginning. There is so much to see, but I decided to visit only a few themes. I didnt want to overwhelm myself, which is why Ive decided to break this event up into several trips. I know it will be worth it. I made the mistake of coming through the cafe when I first arrived. Im glad that I did because I will be sure to stop and try out the delicacies on my next visit. The gallery docents were very friendly and took the time to get to know me and my guest. We didnt feel rushed and had a lovely conversation and introduction to the museum. There is also a room dedicated for children as well. All ages are welcomed, but this room was a highlight for me because I will plan to bring my kid with me on the next visit. This was an excellent experience and I recommend it highly. I will be visiting more often in the near future and this is why this museum scored so highly with me.Cons: There is a 2 hour maximum parking if you want to be near the museum. Otherwise, extended parking is a short walk away.

I visited the first Thursday of the month and had free admittance at 5pm. Lovely mix of western art and contemporary...definitely something for everyone. Plan on an outing that includes a stop at the Cafe A La CArt on the grounds. Carlos Estéves was the featured artist.

Whether you are on a field trip or just want s day to see and feel beautiful art, this museum never disappoints! Love the volunteers to death!! Couldnt of asked for a better day from all of the staff there. Thank you for letting Sonoran Science Academy into your world!

Very nice art museum.

Well organized, not crowded. Docents very knowledgeable. Superior display of Western and Native American art. The substantial Rodin held center stage in the permanent gallery, as he should.

Excellent place to view art.

I was in Tuscon for the bike race and on Sunday we stopped by the art museum and little flea market. The art was really great and the structure of the building was a lot fun also. It is also a bonus that it is FREE.

Loved my visit, small but interesting... one thing I didnt enjoy was the security guy downstairs walking around talking on his cell phone, that was disturbing...

Very cool, little museum. Glad I went on free Sunday day though

A gem of a place in downtown Tucson. They have expanded some galleries since I had been here several years ago. A great permanent collection of Southwestern art and Mexican folk art. Interesting shows rotate through the year. I love the Guggenheim-esque spiraling ramp that takes you down to the first and second levels. I’m sure it’s going to have some surprises in store when they finish redoing the courtyard.

Nice building. Easy parking on street. My parking app didnt work with the meter so I used debit card. Even with construction related to expansion there is a lot to see. The docent are very cool. The docents dont just stand around. They are proactive!!

We really enjoyed our visit here. The docent tours are fun and give an insight into the art. There is a great variety of art to be enjoyed. I recommend setting a couple of hours aside and visiting cafe de arts on premise for a drink or light bite. Next time we are in Tuscon we plan to visit again.

This was the first place we visited on our first day in Tucson. I loved the Navajo rugs, French sculptures, Indian paintings & the colorful “devil’s dance” masks. Totally enjoyed our time here. Then on the way out I saw the adobe structure. I’m impressed that the city acquired this structure for preservation in perpetuity. As we exited the museum we stopped at the lovely cafe’ for a drink & snack & sat outdoors. Very cute cafe’.

We just moved to town and decided to visit the museum as a family activity, and I am SO grateful we did! First of all, they partner with local libraries to hand out free passes, and it offered so much beautiful art that we were there for two hours and still didn’t see everything. There are a couple of nice spots for a quick lunch, either from the cafe or brought from home. The staff is unbelievably friendly and are so good with kids, it made the whole trip worth it just to chat with a few staff members. We went on a Saturday afternoon but it was still so quiet and un-busy that my 1.5 year old could freely explore (with Mom and Dad close by, of course!) and really enjoy herself. We are VERY much looking forward to coming back to see the other buildings and new exhibits as they come out!

Im a huge fan of art and I love bringing my family to this museum. They have exhibitions and feature artists a lot and their classic art section is very educational. Also, they offer military/veteran families free entrance so its a nice place to go if you have a limited budget. I highly recommend that every Tucsonian goes at least once.

Great museum to spend a few hours. Well curated and interesting galleries!

I am not necessarily a museum person, but on a recent quest to stay cool and do something fun with visiting family we landed here. The admission was free as my Dad is a military vet, and apparently during the summer they are free and so are their family! Given we love to support the arts, there is a donation box which we happily put money in given the free admission.

This art museum has a focus on modern and historical artworks. There are a number of amazing, classic works in the main collection and there are always some great works of art either on tour or in the rotation. I love that it’s quiet. They’re in the middle of some construction right now. The place was booming like a bass drum, but it won’t be like that all the time.

Wrong place. Meant to go to moca

Went on family day so as a local we got in for free. Great event and different t hands on activities for the kids. We got to make a metal picture frame and artist paper. They also were giving out copper roses for all the mothers as it was mothers day.

Partially closed when we visited due to a new installation going in, but it was interesting.

Never knew it existed, but had a wonderful time looking at others creativity

We didnt get to see the main exhibit because they were preparing for the new one, but I havent been here since I was a child and there were great paintings, sculptures and you could easily spend hours here.

Great artists and fine art! Many local Arizonan artists! A Tucson must-see.Go on a Docent lead tour, if possible.

Excellent museum Volunteer docent friendly and knowledgeable about the collection. Worth a visit !

Beautiful museum. Loved the Oaxacan animales exhibit.

Very kind staff, people who seem very interested in the work they do there.

They are doing a lot of work and most of the museum is closed. What was open was really cool and unique. I wouldnt recommend this museum until they get up and open in 2020.

We love this pubic institute. Always wonderful changing exhibitions.

A bit on the small side but a good amount of art inside. Part of the museum was under rehab and one floor was completely closed. Unique building.

If youre just visiting this would be a great place to get a feel for Tucson - the museum reflects the citys art sophistication and the historic block offers a glimpse of its diversity and fun. I live here but somehow I had missed this gem until recently. Now that I know, it is on my must-see list for our visitors and as a place to go to relax. Try to go on a day/time when there is live music in the courtyard.

We went for First Thursday Free night. Theres live music, bar, arts & crafts and of course a wide variety of art. The music and drinks are upstairs which is nice because then you can go to the many lower levels and think/converse about the art in a quieter setting. The Fish house has a small exhibit & gift shop-great gifts, pretty pricey in our opinion though. The Hiram Stevens house Cafe a la Cart is a neat, historical building-outside concrete & stone garden bench tell a story. Beautiful original artwork.We were fascinated by the cloud paintings and the oil painting you had to stand back to see cattle & horse figures. We enjoyed discussing all the art; trying to understand the artists & artwork. The room with the living trees was fascinating.Overall well worth the trip. It took us about 90 mins, but you could go much slower or somewhat faster depending on your likes. The museum is under construction so theres a few things closed but you can still have a wonderful experience. Parking on the streets or in lot right across from the Fish House is available.

Intimate, good traveling shows and collect ion. Nice cafe.

Tucson Museum of Art & Historic Block is a great place to visit. The docent was very helpful in explaining the layout. If the weather wasn’t so hot we would have went to more than just the 2 main buildings. I might try the Free First Thursday this summer when it is open 5-8 pm!

Tucson. Being a small city has many art museums. Ablis 5 official art museums and countless galleries. But this one is the best

Wonderful, Typical, and Inspiring.Everything you would expect.

Great asset to Tucson. Great collection. Many artists and different types of artwork. Enjoyable experience.We especially like the feature exhibition.This unique Tucson jewel is both an active art museum, reflecting local and traditional art.

An art lovers dream.

Small but beautiful little museum with inexpensive admission. I particularly enjoyed the rotating exhibits with the Cuban mind-bending art. Theres a charming cafe attached as well.

Quite a good little museum with some good exhibits. Loved the little Contemporary Art exhibit at the top of the ramp. It was a fun little museum!

Not as small as I thought. Great collections. I love free first Thursday events from 5-7!

Amazing display of Native American works of Art. Loved the venue.

Even though under construction it was worth the visit, however being watched by security guards on every floor was off-putting. Instead of guards skulking around dressed in black they could install some cctv cameras and create a friendlier atmosphere. I couldnt wait to get out of there.

Art museum grew up later than most museums in USA. Has great pieces through time and genre. European art as seen through idealised American European sensibilities, dealing towards romanticised emotionalism. Well laid out in a architecturally pleasing building with galleries seamlessly melding into each other. Educating without overwhelming, great for a visit. Their cafe needs a new dishwasher.

Do yourself a favor and just spend some time doing some reflecting while looking at cool stuff

The collections were all listed by a title that allowed you to know what to expect. My wife read an article about the museum. She became very excited the article listed a few artists that she was interested in. With our 30th coming up I figured why not. IT was a very interesting afternoon, the cafe was excellent.

Too short visit, must return.

Always offering fresh and well-curated shows, this institution is a treasure to Tucson. Always accommodating with a knowledgeable docent staff, I will be sure to bring my students back every year.

I am not necessarily a museum person, but on a recent quest to stay cool and do something fun with visiting family we landed here. The admission was free as my Dad is a military vet, and apparently during the summer they are free and so are their family! Given we love to support the arts, there is a donation box which we happily put money in given the free admission.The layout is on a block, with the museum falling in multiple buildings and a courtyard (which was under renovation when we visited) It is split up into many different galleries in the main building. I was truly impressed with the quality of the exhibits and how engaged I got in it. Lots of lovely western art, along with some fantastic Indian and Mexican flavored exhibits. My favorite were the masks (not sure if they are there all the time) This museum is the real deal (I was skeptical) which lots of rich culture contained within its walls.The gift shop is a must -- not normally for gift shops but this one had lots of handmade and beautiful items in it.

Pure joy!

A great museum. Gives you a nice look at local artists and old time masters.

Love art museums. This is a nice museum in a smaller city. Cafe was outstanding.

Wow. Wear comfy shoes because theres a lot to see and a whole section to be reopened soon.

Great displays. Easy to access.

Awesome collection of various types of art!

Small enough to enjoy comfortably, great variety.

Interesting architectural galleries, building incorporating historic Old Tucson structure, and a great patio cafe. Free first Thursdays and 2nd Sundays with music and art activities.

Great building design with a very strong and diverse collection.

Very nice cafe with colorful patio! Good coffee, treats, and sandwiches. Recommended.

Im renovating it. Will be open soon.

So many awesome pieces here! Loved wandering around the galleries and finding my favorites.

Great variety of works. Place is well laid out and exhibits are interesting. You can park out back and its near the old market/artisans galleries.

Excellent collection of artists of the southwest.

Very helpful staff. Surprisingly diverse art on display. Quiet, cool well-lit interior.

Small but have some interesting local arts.

This place has great art

Wonderful regional museum. Very good and consistent selection of SW, Tucson and AZ art with an interesting compliment of modern exhibits. Well worth the membership fee.

Said its open but its not.

Well what a waste of time and energy. Several house museums are closed but no one takes the time to upgrade their websites. We did get into one but no informstion offered at desk or at the museum where the tickets were purchased. The female guard at this house should be fired. She was rude and condescending..the good news is that we did get a lovely decent tour when i told her of our frustrations. There was a meeting just breaking up.So i have high hopes that someday this place will get it all figured out. There are good things to see...if you can get in.

Amazing, beautiful, interesting. Could spend all day.

Love the experience and sense of adventure this museum has, especially with the amount of floors. Affordable prices. 30 Americans Exhibition was amazing and different.

Loved the South West collections and when its hot outside its the perfect getaway.

Great museum with fantastic special exhibits. Highly recommend. Also check out the cafe for lunch!

I took classes and enjoyed the museum for years !!!!

Knowledgable docents and several unique pieces all on all an enjoyablecMusee

Classy place and usually free for students, I love it when they have fun events here!!! Always great people and a classy fun time surrounded by art.
