THis is an old review but when we went in 2017 it was amazing. I am not an art lover, but woodworker by hobby. Amazing pieces from centuries past. Sam Maloof, James Krenov, and George Nakashima would appreciate some of the pieces shown.
A well-curated art museum with a strong balance between classical and contemporary works. The gallery spaces are spacious, calm, and thoughtfully designed, allowing each artwork to stand out without feeling crowded. The collection offers both visual impact and historical depth. Definitely worth visiting if you appreciate art, architecture, and a quiet cultural experience.
Absolutely beautiful! Wonderful exhibits, amazing staff. Took my friend, my partner & her niece/nephew and we all had a blast. Ten/ten, definitely going to come back again!
We come here about once a year. It's not something we normally plan to do, but think about it when we might be downtown for some other activity and find that we have some time. Always enjoy the building itself and the featured exhibits. This time they were showcasing some of the Bradley Collection. Another special exhibit (although much smaller in scale) was the "Reviving the Dance of Death." The docent suggested that we use the magnifier app on our phone to get a closer look — great suggestion! We never try to see everything, and usually have enough after one hour. The lower level parking is a great option if there are spaces available. The MAM is a nice amenity on our beautiful lakefront.
My boyfriend and I went to the art museum today to take pictures with his new camera. There were only a few spots we took pictures and were really respectful of those around us but we were followed on the lower level of the museum the whole time. We couldn’t go in a new section without a worker watching us. We were in no way doing anything that caused any disturbance to anyone or anything there…that kinda ruined the experience for us. Other than that the art is gorgeous and I have always loved art since I was a kid.
