Current exhibit is of cleverly laid-out stories of local history. It's cool how the relevance of these stories to current life is made obvious to visitors. Very intelligent. This is an important museum. Worth every cent of admission.
we loved this museum that displays a collection of photographs showing life and people in Spokane over a centure ago. We also learned some amazing facts of great historical value and generally found it quite educational and entertaining. Don't miss on their cafe lunch selections with Lebanese flavors.
There really isn't all that much to the MAC. I've gone a few times for special displays and they were cool to see but the rest gets kind of boring. It's a small place and for what you get to see it's over proced. I don't mind paying for a good museum display but I think I'm going to pass in the future unless it's something extra cool.
Loved the show, what history Spokane has with such talent. The MAC is such a gem, their shows always are a surprise. We are so lucky here in Spokane with
This is an interesting museum of the history of the area. The layout is very clever with each exhibit numbered and taking you back in time as you descend to the lower levels. Ther was hands on "build a dinosaur" activity open to everyone. Included was a tour of a mansion next door, that was fascinating. Worth the entry fee.
Excellent tour of the Campbell House, and insight into the early days of mining, and railroading that were a part of early Spokane.
Whether seeing "Sue" the T. Rex, or a quilting display or Native American art or Spokane history, my grandkids and I always have fun. We all learn something from the special display as well as the standing displays. It's smallish, but that makes it "doable" in an hour or two.
but definitely worth the drive. This is an interesting little museum, with very friendly staff. Well worth the time and effort involved.
The MAC has a better collection of the plateau native Americans than the Smithsonian. There are multiple rotating exhibits in the main museum plus the 1890's Campbell house which is it's largest artifact. A definite stop and plan 2-3 hours
Spokane lacks art, and it especially lacks art museums. The MAC, as it's called, gets good shows from time to time, and the permanent Native Art collection is always interesting, but, as a note to management, there's too much dependence on nostalgia here. Let's see more new local stuff like the current Dean Davis show.
