Tonight I had the pleasure of going to the Phoenix Art Museum for the first time. I am a native Arizonian and have never been there before. I went to the Library and picked up a culture pass that would allow 4 of us to go for free. But, little did I know Wednesday’s are Donation Only nights and the admission is free. Located on Central and McDowell, NW Corner, It is very easy to park and find as well as access with the light rail.
I instantly loved the clean & open spaces of the museum. I was each area of the museum was unique with great lighting and allowed the viewer to move into a new direction without getting bored or overwhelmed. I was impressed with the unique work they had along with the more classical pieces. I feel that they truly had a little something for everyone.
Some of the Art was very moving. I personally like Impressionist more than modern art and found that they had many great and interesting pieces. I feel like they had a good mixture of each of the major areas such as: Native American, Asian, Modern, European, American, Unique, 3 dimensional and kids. I can say I am glad I did not take my 2 toddlers as the museum does have a lot of steps and levels and it is quite calm and quiet.
Overall a great place to visit and see. I toured most of the exhibits within 2-3 hours. I will definitely go back again! To See more great pictures click here to see a slideshow!
