  • I live only 2 hours away and this was my first visit to the Mint! Stunning! I don't know why it took so long. Plan on spending 2-3 hours as there is so much to see and differing traveling...

  • This is a small museum but it has some nice art. We really enjoyed spending some time here and it is good to see this and the other museums in the area at the same time. The others are close by...

  • Went on a Saturday to see the Picasso exhibit. Nice underground parking lot with elevators right up to the museum. Rather tight though so leave big vehicles at home. Unfortunately, all the tickets...

  • The Upton Mint Museum is a fantastic Art Museum in a beautiful city. The museum features glass art, ceramic art, wood art, fashion art, modern art, furniture art, classic oil paintings, watercolors, impressionist paintings and more. The collections are creatively put together and hold your attention throughout the visit. I especially enjoyed the wood collection, glass collection, and the sculptures. I am not much of an admirer of modern art but, I still enjoyed the color and texture of their collection. The open atrium area contains a four-story painted glass window which beautifully fills the room with vibrant colors. It is a pleasure just to sit and enjoy the room. If you love art, come early and plan to spend the day.
  • This place is ridiculously beautiful. Security isn't too overwhelming. I wonder how cool it is to be an art museum security guard. You get to just walk around art all day. Anyways all of the art, exhibits, and installations are extremely beautiful and thought provoking. All staff is friendly, the environment is clean, and there's lots of space! Will definitely comeback to finish my tour!
  • If you're a traveler looking for a great place to spend a few hours or even a whole day. This place is packed with incredible art from some of the world's most famous portraitists, painters, and sculptors. Plus, there are tons of cultural relics from around the world, representing different peoples and religions. You won't regret checking out all the galleries and soaking up the fantastic atmosphere. It's truly a wonderful experience!
  • The art here is very profound and original. They have something for every audience and I happened to arrive on a free Saturday which was super cool. I would definitely recommend this museum 👌 it takes about an hour to two to explore fully depending on your pace.
  • This museum is awesome! There are five floors. Floors 2-5 have galleries. Floors 3-5 have the most interesting art pieces. Most artworks have written stories explaining the origin of the piece. The fifth floor is dedicated to displaying the work of local artists. I highly recommend the Mint Museum. The only complaint I had was that they only offered $5 off parking. They didn't have a voucher for full parking validation. Parking is $3/half hour.
