Boise Art Museum, Boise

An exceptional small museum. Clearly their staff is thoughtfully and strategically displaying the collection along contemporary and meaningful themes. The mostly regional artworks are outstanding examples, the installation is superior - spaced and considered. Oddly for 2022, they forbid photos of any kind- even those taken with a Cell phone. Thus, casual sharing any useful visual is impossible. This policy could be revisited to increase publicity and visitation. So- imagine a really lovely small museum and go there!

Great exhibit! The neon lights and paint by numbers is a fun one! The interactive candy exhibit is fun too! Thank you for offering a free day once a month! It really helps our family to experience fine art!

I expected more display of the talent Boise as to offer 😥 all I seen was art in the I of the beholder. Dont get me wrong I understand that some of the art took extreme talents to accomplish (and I mean some)but just not the kind of art that stops me to gaze in wonder and marvel at. I wish we would be more selective of what we consider true art not something that is pretty much anyone can do. Just not what I expected and I probably will go back to see if they make better choices in the future because of my love of art but won't hold my breath.

Amazingly diverse collection of art, including many artists I've never heard of. There is a very moving and in depth grouping of the works of Stephen Towns, a very talented artist who depicts the history of slavery and African American people. I learned a lot, and was truly amazed at the depth and breadth of art.

Wonderful exhibit featuring Dutch-American artist Willem Volkersz's fascinating neon tubes and paint-by-numbers paintings. Many other interesting American artists' works. Lovely space, highly recommended!
