Total waste of taxpayers dollars. It’s more like a storage of ugly trash that no one would call “art” made by unknown self proclaimed “artists”.

For major museums this is quite small. Also I enjoyed the first exhibit that we walked into which had a lot of bright and vibrant art but after that I found much of it pretty forgettable.
Also fairly challenging to park there as it's downtown San Jose and there are a variety of parking places however some of them are kind of pricey. Ended up parking on a meter and stayed for less than 3 hours.
Shout out to the staff as my wife left a phone there and was able to retrieve it from the nice people there.
Overall an enjoyable experience.

Lovely museum. Just big enough to see in less than two hours. Well chosen exhibits. Makes one think....

My girlfriend and I had a really good time! It’s a bit of a small museum, but what is displayed is very good. We love the shopping exhibit and the candy store exhibit. I realize in the future people are going to read this and wonder what the hell I’m talking about but for now in January 2024 it’s a cool exhibit. Lots of cool stuff.

I really enjoyed my visit. My wife and I walked around the museum. The low point was downstairs, thought the learning center could use more to get it more engagement. The high points were everything else. For a Friday afternoon, it was poppin'. The gift store was nice and reasonably priced. Upstairs had nice pieces that hit close to home.

Well to be fair when we went there 3 exhibitions were close and i have no idea how big or small they were! I will update this if we end up going again and i see an actual difference!

If you do the math u probably have more art at home than what was at display here, hell go to TJMax instead! The building itself is very beautiful so are the views of surrounding buildings from it! I give it 2 starts just for those views and that of the admissions people’s super nice and welcoming attitude! Otherwise man we were disappointed!
The place was super clean and well maintained and there were not that many people there too on a Sunday!
I’d only recommend going there during like a special exhibition u know about!

Cleanness: very clean
People: nice admissions guy, security folks not so much
Cost: 10$ adults, students get in free. With id
Value: well.. we were not happy!
Parking: plenty parking lots around the area I’d imagine a little tricky in weekdays!

Modern abstract art museum. don’t know ANYTHING about ART!! I really don’t.. But I do love looking at interesting pictures.
On the small side for a city museum but a pleasant space and helpful staff. Nice exhibits with no barriers so being up close and interacting was easy.
Great spot in downtown San Jose to take in art. Some of the art installations are thought provoking. Some art look deceptively simple, but the amount of work that went into making it so simple seems so effortless.
