It was hard to find in the first place and once I found it I was the only one there. There were only 2 exhibits so they told me it was free, I'm not sure if they were changing out art or what. Both exhibits were done by amateur artists. The works were odd and lacked a lot of skill.

I am so glad we came on a free day. Only a few pieces in the entire facility, and they were strange. Not sure how they stay open. Either that or we caught them on a day when they were changing out all their art.

We visited this museum and they were so informative and the art is great. The man there helped us with museums to see in Minneapolis also.

A nicely done modern art museum, a good place to spend time while you are in Rochester. The building is modern and interesting, although stuck like a carbuncle onto the Civic Center. It has nice views of the river. The show was interesting.

The art exhibits were varied enough there was something for everyone. Thursday is a good value because it's free to see the exhibits. It was a nice venue for our daughters wedding reception. It's got some great view of Rochester that change as the sun goes down. Also it's connected to the skyways so people don't have to worry about... More

I love to visit the Rochester Art Center. The exhibitions are always changing and there are so many fun events to attend. You will experience something that makes you think, feel and get inspired. If you have an opportunity to visit - do it! The shop has nice stuff, too!

The Rochester Art Center has made a lot of gains in the last few years. It used to be unimpressive and cramped, tucked away behind the Civic Theatre. Since moving into its new, modern building next to the Mayo Civic Center and the library in 2004, it has become a more important part of the city. It usually has a... More
