A really GOOD, very solid, museum with a wide and deep range of offerings over a nice span of media and history that are truly well presented! There's so much to see (especially the sculptures on the plaza) but I do have one favorite: Check out the gift from one of their benefactors in memory of his wife: "The Arrest"...

The views from the museum and the artwork inside make the Hunter a doubly good place to visit. Views of downtown and the river are great. Much of the art is regional (southeast US), and that makes it special. My favorite was a piece called The Birds that didn't learn to Fly.

Very nice museum. The special exhibits were great. Enjoyed seeing the Paul Stankard exhibit. The Mansion section was very nice and the views of the river are great. Very well done and great for the price. Can't say much about the Contemporary section, not really a fan.
The Hunter Museum was a wonderful way to spend a few hours in Chattanooga away from the crowds and for only $10 per person.

The current exhibit on glass in glass art is ending soon and it is so wonderful, you just gotta go. The rest of the collection had some very nice surprises as well. We enjoyed our visit; it saved a cold and rainy day.
What a treasure. This is a great museum! So many original and fantastic paintings and sculptures. I was so pleased with their collection. Plus I was so impressed with the wide variety of art. For a city the size of Chatt, this is amazing. My only complaint is that the gift shop had no prints/posters...anything with their own collection on...

The museum is so designed that every angle has a spectacular view. The permanent collection offers a study of early American history in art. The contemporary works are thought provoking and fun. The mansion provides a moment in another era and lifestyle.
We were lucky enough tot see the visiting glass work display. Fascinating !

Not just a Chattanooga Museum of art but a true Museum of American Art. From the old mansion to the modern addition, there is a lot to see in wandering around the many floors but the view from the outside terrace is a not-miss when you come to town. Love the various and varied pieces from the early American Art...

This is coming from a very casual art fan but I think this museum is fabulous. It is quite amazing that it is in a city the size of Chattanooga. The three buildings that make up the complex are all so different. The mansion was my favorite. There is no cafe in the museum so we visited the special exhibits...
