I live in the Northeast, where we have so many art museums I never need to see another one, ever. But the curator of the DMA spoke at the conference I was attending in town, and I was intrigued. I found a few hours with nothing to do, so I stopped by. So glad I did! The space is absolutely... More

Easy to find, easy to enter with baby stroller, and easy to navigate. We also loved the air-conditioning. The staff was quite helpful. The snack bar was expensive, but that is par. We enjoyed our afternoon exploring the Arts. Quite a lovely facility.

I've been to this location three times now. The first time I went was with a group of friends, and my family. I was handed a pamphlet which had a lot of great and useful information in it that I took the time to read, as I wanted to take photos, but wasn't sure what the rules were about it.... More

Hi Stephanie, Thank you for your review. Input from our visitors helps us improve the experience for all. We were unhappy to hear about your two experiences in the Museum’s galleries. Regarding photography, there are some restrictions for loaned works and special exhibitions; the use of flash and tripods/monopods are also restricted to help protect the works. We apologize for...

I love the DMA. There is something there for everyone who enjoys art. If you want to stay later, on Thursday nights they have live jazz in the atrium and a little cafe set up. The third Friday of every month, the DMA does a late night with activities, music and, of course, the art.

This is a great museum for families and couples alike or by yourself for that matter. We recently visited on a Saturday afternoon and had a great time. There is plenty to do for the young ones, there is usually an art project that the kids can participate in that is tied in with the exhibits and have something they... More

No matter how many times we go, we always find something new. The special exhibits are very nice, well done. The gift shops attached to the special exhibits are often really good places to pick up a gift--for yourself or others.The staff is very helpful; the shop is nice. Go often---it's FREE!

Visited the DMA over Memorial Day weekend. It wasn't overly crowded and I was glad that admission is free. You do have to pay to park, and that is $10- not a huge deal. We did not view any of the temporary collections that were being shown at the time as these are at an additional cost and did not... More

I love going to art museums. I enjoyed my time here, but there's something about the layout of the museum which makes it feel thrown together. Given the footprint of the museum, there were some galleries that felt almost claustrophobic and others where you had plenty of room to step back and admire the artwork. I honestly felt that some...

The DMA now offers free admission so taking the kids is great. I took a 12 yr old and three ten year olds and it was fun. We only toured it for about an hour which is enough time for kids. The kids are old enough to think it is pretty cool. I parked in a lot around the corner... More
