Phoenix Art Museum

Was on a layover and decided to checkout some local activities. Parking was on the challenging side because it is also next to a theatre and a performance was scheduled. We visited on a Wednesday after 3pm…it’s pay what you can and they’re open til 8pm so that also added to parking congestion. No pressure to pay/donate but they did let us know the normal price. We opted to pay $5 vs. the regular $28 per person. I primarily wanted to visit the Yayoi Kusama room but loved the butterfly installation and the tiny rooms as well. They have a nice variety of art work overall. There were some areas that were closed off due to a private event, so didn’t get to visit all exhibits and they also have some additional pay areas too. Highly recommend and would definitely visit again!

The Phoenix Art Museum is a beautiful place filled with art, culture, and history. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our visit and found ourselves truly immersed in the experience. One of the highlights for me was discovering an ancient Islamic piece from the Qing dynasty. It was fascinating and meaningful to see such a unique connection to history. The fashion and dress exhibits were absolutely stunning, with so much detail and artistry on display. Every section offered something special, but my favorite piece was Flowers by Joseph Stella. It was truly breathtaking and left a lasting impression on me. This museum offers such a rich and diverse collection that there is something for everyone. It is truly a must-visit place while you are in Phoenix, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to enjoy art, beauty, and culture in a thoughtfully curated space.

Never visited before and did specifically because of the Japanese clay exhibit. Unbelievable experience! Excellently curated pieces, very impactful collection. I would definitely love to come back when visiting Phoenix. And I also want to mention that probably the kindest museum employees I have ever encountered.

We went to see A Christmas Carol on Friday evening and I was absolutely blown away!! The revision of this Charles Dickens classic was by far the best rendition I have ever experienced! It was amazingly written with hints of comedy, fantastic acting, extremely impressive singing and perfectly choreographed scenes. The Phoenix Theater has REALLY stepped up the venue as well!! Everything was absolutely beautiful and festive! The entire staff went above and beyond to accommodate at every turn. The Bartenders were impressive as well. Handling a large crowd and turning out perfect cocktails and impeccable service! When we were leaving, we wanted to get a group picture and one staff member offered to take our picture. All in all, we had an amazing evening and Bravo to The Phoenix Theater Company, the Staff, and the entire Cast, Crew, and Writers of this year's A Christmas Carol! This is definitely a MUST SEE!!!

Love this place! On the weekdays, it's quiet and serene. You can take in all of the beauty around you. The staff is very kind. I am a photographer who shot an engagement shoot here with a couple. With the rotating exhibits, there are endless photo opportunities! Highly recommend Xx, Tram @itsasnapmedia
