The art reflects, Italian, French, German and much more nicely displayed a nice way to spend an afternoon without going to European museum!
This small but very interesting museum has art that would make many large museums quite envious. Many large works by established masters grace the walls. The place is attractive and nicely laid out. The staff is friendly and not overbearing, but helpful when you want information. There are many types of work, including wood and architectural pieces as well. Inexpensive admission makes it especially attractive.
A fantastic Christian art collection. The Bible is depicted beautifully. The Saints come alive. My favorites were the portrait of Jesus with tears in his eyes and the Holy Family with Mary feeding Jesus. The intimate Joseph holding the infant and gazing in his eyes. Much preferred the Roman Renaissance. Only drawback was difficulty navigating through the exhibit & the super small print on the plaques beside the paintings.
Went there by accident with a large party. I love art and been to museums across the world. This is exceptional for it location. Yes, it is religious art as everyone says but the majority of art in the world is religious. This is a great museum and worth the trip. I think you will be surprised at the quality of the exhibits. And they are real nice to visitor.... much more personal than most museums.
During a visit to Greenville, SC on October 16, 2014 my wife and I visited the Bob Jones Museum & Gallery. The modest admission fee was well worth the price. We were amazed by the quality and variety of classic paintings and artifacts on display in the galleries, which were professionally designed and arranged. The museum and gallery is only open from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. and is a must visit if you are in the area.
This Museum is amazing. I could spend hours looking at the exquisite Christian art. There are paintings that you would not see anywhere else in the world.
Visited with grandchildern for a Victorian Christmas event. Museum and activities are outstanding. This is a great place to visit while in Greenville.Very unique opportunity to see some great paintings and artifacts.You want be disappointed.
We toured the museum and the theater, excellent. The paintings are from 16th century thru the 18th. Must see,
The gallery is absolutely a special place to see some incredible art .... amazing both artistically and historically. Totally unique for anywhere in the country. Works by amazing artists. Take time to read up on the artists and the different art periods in history. It is incredibly interesting. A quiet and peaceful way to spend some leisure time. Audio tour available also.
This museum has an amazing amount of religious art, especially for a city the size of Greenville. Would highly recommend seeing this if in the area.
