  My husband and I visited the museum due to a special exhibition on miniature paintings by Rembrandt, Hals, Vermeer and their contemporaries. While the exhibition was great, we were even more impressed by the collections of the museum itself--which are free to view!! There is a wonderful collection of Chinese and Buddhist art, an amazing collection of Wedgewood pottery, and some amazing finds, including a Monet and a John Singer Sargent portrait! Absolutely fantastic!

  I live outside DC, the home of fabulous and free museums. Birmingham's art museum is a delight. Free parking on site and free entry are a steal for this lovely museum with an eclectic mix of modern, renaissance, European, and 'Bama art. A nice size, it is easily viewed in a single afternoon. Recommend!

  I took a "me day" to go to the museum. I had always wanted to see fine art. Staff was very friendly. I was very impressed with the variety and the layout of the galleries. Very educational experience.

  We went over during our passing through Birmingham . We had only an hour which was unfortunate as u could easily spend 2-3 hours keeping kids busy and entertained. We only partially visited the kids section which was great with lots of hands on interesting activities . My kids loved it as did the adults ! Wish we had something like this back home.Admission is free but donations are encouraged .Wonderful experience and would difinitely visit again if ever back in the city .

  This was the first place that I stopped when I came to BHam. They have an excellent collection at this museum covering the Renaissance, to African, to 16th century furniture. Loved this place and I plan on going back.

  We live close by so we go to the museum several times a year. You could easily spend half a day looking at their extensive collection. The museum is free. They only request donations which is really great as well for your pocket book.

  This museum's spacious galleries display a varied and well-curated collection of paintings, sculpture, furniture, decorative arts and photographs from the pre-Columbian to contemporary eras. Don't miss the Wedgwood collection and Albert Bierstadt's stunning, luminous Yosemite Valley landscape.There is no fee for admission, but a free-will donation is appreciated. Plan to spend at least a couple of hours to see highlights.

  The BMA in Birmingham is a jewel that is little known outside the city. While the collections are small, but facility is beautiful and extremely well kept and exhibits are well designed. Highly recommended.

  From sculptures to paintings. From Europe, Asia, and the Native American. OF course, there were others. It was free but a donation is asked for. I would highly recommend it as I thoroughly enjoyed the Native American Exhibit showing the different kinds of art such as clothing and pottery from the different regions in the US. It includes a restaurant that closes at 2pm. There are also lockers to put your belongings in
