Nice mix of artworks from ancient pottery to modern art. It's a nice way to spend a late afternoon or evening.
I was very impressed with this museum and our docent, Robert Procter, was very informational. There is a large variety of works at this museum which makes it very interesting. The inner part is open to a skylight which makes it very light and airy. There is such a diversity in the art works, which keeps your interest pique'd as you move from floor to floor. The outdoor displays are beautiful! And of course the gift shot is a "must visit"!
if you have not been to the PS art museum, you should treat yourself. I think that on Thursdays admission is waived - at least on the Thursday that we went it was. Great little museum in central PS.
We had been a MEMBER of the Palm Springs Art Museum for many years.We just received another renewal notice for the Art Museum.No Thanks. Like the first one , it has gone into the garbage can.They had promised local groups access to their theatre, and then unceremoniously withoutwarning, turned their backs on them, leaving them out in the cold with VERY SHORT NOTICE.VERY BAD FORM. Shame on you.Please read the following article and you will understand why......Palm Springs Art Museum Lays off Long Time Employee, Tells Groups to Find Other Theaters and Changes Marketinglink: ( click below )coachellavalleynews.com/…
The Art Museum in Palm Springs is intimately scaled with a broad representation of North American and european art and sculpture. We were pleasantly surprised to see Gavin Turk, Anthony Gormley and Duane Hanson represented in the gallery.
We always visit this place when in PS...All kinds of art including painting, sculpture and some fun stuff too.
The art of American Hung Liu will engage you long after you have seen her HER huge canvases full of anguish and beauty. And curator/husband points out that the sculpture (permanent) at the entrance is by Chinese contemporary. It imitates the tai stone found throughout classical gardens in Suzhou --outside of ShanghaiUnique show. Find it where you can--even on line. Art of Hung Liu is not to be missedCurator Jeff Kelley is a rich source of info on Chinese contemporary art IN China and internationally. Follow him too
For the size of Palm Springs this museum is world class! If you love art and art museum don't miss it! The permanent collection is wonderful but their special exhibits are ALWAYS amazing!!
I loved the building, a gorgeous example of mid-century modern architecture and the permanent collection- some beautiful paintings of the desert.
Some very fun, quirky displays. Go on Thursday evenings when it's free, and there are also free tours then.
