A few stops by tram away from the convention center, this museum has a mdern design and is home to several collections of contemporary art. I chose to focus on a temporary exhibit of contemporary Latin American art (ends on Sunday May 5, but on the first Friday of the month the museum is open 6-10 pm!!). The guided tour... More

Park in the north side lot (xc at McDowell & Central), walk out to Central to the entrance. Also, the light rail runs along Central Ave. Upon entering the museum, thousands of paper butterflies greet observers. The refreshing, contemporary Latin American Art Exhibit was first on our list because it is on site for just two more days. The Digital... More

While visiting Phoenix, we visited this Museum on the Sunday afternoon of the Arts & Flowers Exhibit. Very interesting take on the Flower arrangements~ If they do this next year , I would highly recommend going on the opening day (Thursday) which would have been much better for the Florals. The Butterfly exhibit/ display is awesome. I am not sure... More

When the weather... More

Two or more large galleries are full of new artists and their art. The Asian art was good, particularly the religious art. There was new paintings from China that I thought were outstanding. There were... More

This museum has a fantastic contemporary collection, thanks to the curator, Sara Cochran. She has a great gift for attracting and displaying phenomenal... More

The current installation with something like 350,000 black butterflies which usher one into the main artery of the Phoenix Art Museum is spectacular and is a real "must" to see for all ages. It gives one a feeling of space and associations as well as chaos. This museum has much to offer at any one time. Currently, until sometime in... More
