Nice little museum and worth the visit. They usually have changing exhibits which can be a bit weird but are always interesting! More

That's what our lively and enthusiastic docent called this museum. It is a dramatic and modern accent to an old railroad that is in the process of restoring and reinventing its downtown. Close to downtown. Interesting exhibits. A small museum, but as docent said, "You have time to engage with this museum." And we did enjoy it. At huge art... More

Staff was very friendly. Nice location close in the downtown area with plenty of nearby parking. They also hosted the start of the blueridge marathon and were very courteous to the runners. More

Very big and fancy building. Probably great for hosted parties and events but there is really not much art. what is there is kind of mixed up with no real themes or ideas. the grandkids didn't have supplies in the kids area and nothing really worked right. we looked at everything and were left wandering around wondering if there was...

I went recently specifically to see the Mark Cline exhibit and it was a real treat, worth the $7 price of admission alone (plus a few dollars for parking in the garage across the street). In addition to this was a room full of folk/visionary art and another room with a small but excellent selection of traditional American paintings mostly... More

I used to have an art gallery in a major metropolitan city, so we were interested in going to the Taubman Museum when it opened, but frankly, after our visit, I really felt they should have spent more money on better design and execution of the interior exhibition spaces and lighting than trying to look like a tacky version of...

After seeing many other museum's in my life this was one of the smallest that I had ever seen. The art that was there at the time was not that good and and it overrated especially for the fee that they want to charge. More

Saturdays are free. There is a small collection of American paintings with the other representations great for people who like art that requires you to step away from the obvious and into interpretation and philosophy. Take a tour if there is one and stop by the cafe for a snack or a sandwich! Weekends also offer lots of options for... More
