boise art museum印象

When I visited with my friends we spent twice as much time as expected viewing the interesting collection of permanent and temporary works. Of note is the installation by Gail Grinnell' as well as the collection of early twentieth century works.

The Boise Art Museum is a gem in downtown Boise. The well-curated exhibits (I saw "Crafting a Continuum" and it was FANTASTIC) present serious art goers with a lot to think about. The smallness of the museum is also welcoming to those who don't want to spend a lot of time inside - you can easily see the offerings in an hour or two. A great little gift shop is tucked inside the entrance, and the museum garden has some amusing sculptures. A very good stop if you're visiting Boise.

We were pleasanty surprised by Boise overall.My 18 year old son and I were visiting Boise for a Niece's wedding on Friday August 8 and got into town very early on August 7 and did some sightseeing before the wedding. Overall it was a great day outside in Boise.We stayed at the Grove Hotel, a short walk to the Julia Davis Park and Rose garden. We also stopped and visited the Boise Art Museum, immediately west of the rose garden along Capitol Street, A very nice stop for no cost at either the art museum or rose garden that day.The art Museum appears to have several visiting displays versus a permanent collection to exhibit. The day we went, it had a ceramic exhibt, an emancipation art exhibit, and several others including an unusual cornucopia textile/ paper mache piece hanging from the ceiling. overall very interesting and worth the stop.

As with any art museum you have to check and see what is showing Seattle artist Gail Grinnell is currently here it worth seeing

I'm an art lover and love going to art events, galleries and museums when I travel. This is a nice little museum. We caught it on a day that it was free, so that was nice. We enjoyed the exhibits. And the museum shop was neat, we bought some unique finds.

The art is modern, and some of it always "gets" to me. Children could do the same thing. However, there were some creative, interesting things. I can appreciate much of the work, but I won't go back. I will say the building is interesting, they built a new front on an old building, and you can see front of the old structure, and its great doors. They also have a really lovely little gift shop there, I think you could purchase from it without even seeing the museum. Nice thoughtful items.

The art museum for a small town was nice. It by far was not worth the entry fee, but what else do you do when it's raining.

I happened to be there on a "free" admission day and expected to it to be jammed with visitors. It was very peaceful and one was able to view the art leisurely. There was an interesting collection displayed.

W enjoyed looking around, learning new things and. The garden level was very nice. Clean. We saw a bride and bridal party being photographed. If was a beautiful day with lovely people. Lots to see and explore. The farmers market was also very nice, with a variety of food choices to try, the fudge was delish! I hope you all get to try that reach creamy melt in your mouth chocolate cinnamon.

This was my first visit to the Boise Art Museum and I was disappointed. I wanted to encourage my budding artist who is 12 years old and all she had to say was "Dad, it looks like a little kid drew this stuff." It did not inspire her nor I. One display was a "doll" made from what looked like the cardboard from a shoe box with with marker scrawls on it. A sculpture outside was literally a pile of tires, vinyl records and bowling balls. As a teacher I gain much more inspiration and encouragement from the more talented high school artists. While I might go again someday I would wait until at least the Spring of 2015 when all of the current displays are gone.
