Really well curated art museum. Entry fee is by donation and they are constantly rotating the galleries so there's almost always something new to see. I great casual way to add a little fine art to your day!
Thought provoking exhibits. Some of them are interactive. There are also some posters you can take home for free. It's small so it's a quick visit. I wouldn't drive exclusively to visit it but it's great if you are already nearby since it's free.
I was expecting a little more but still cool for a free art exhibit. The fuzzy experience was a little odd for me and the child lol
Small university museum. There are about 5 galleries in there. Free admission. The building is nice, with unique architecture. Showing more identity kind of exhibits - like Indian tribes, or Mexican heritage. The student staff is super nice. Great place to just chill and cozy up in the heat of Phoenix
The building is an art piece in itself. The contents inside although not numerous, don’t disappoint. If you’re looking for something with free admission this is a great option. Very pleasant experience with interesting and intriguing exhibits.
Highly recommend a visit to this unique museum. It feels like you are descending into a stone pyramid, the architecture is just as much of the draw as the artwork inside. Be sure to walk upstairs to view the rest of the building from all sides.
As many others said, the building/architecture looks very interesting. I’m not familiar with the brutalist style; instead, I see design elements that resemble Mayan pyramids and a nearby building may be mimicking the Coliseum in Rome :)
Oh, I agree that the exhibits themselves are somewhat underwhelming but, with free parking, the place is worth visiting, even if it’s only for the building itself.
