Lived her for a decade or two and did not know about this find! Diagonally located from City Hall and next to James Walden Park, you have to stop in. The Sunday we went there was an exhibition so we could not get in for free. Still the friendly staff at the front desk said we could look at the first floor and the art pieces presented. This was one large one at the top of the steps. There were several displays and descriptions of each piece. There is a small cafe where you grab a refreshing drink and treat before heading out. I grabbed a brochure and see they have events like: Fall Family Day, Kids Art Lab, Artful Movement, Coffee with a Curator and more in the months ahead. I can't wait to explore all the galleries on the next levels. I see that all Jacksonville Library card holders receive free admissions on the last Friday of each month. College Students get free admission Tuesday-Friday, 1:30-5PM. Clean, organized, relaxing, educational and more! We will be back to check out more Artist's work and the wonderful opportunity our city offers.
I’m very impressed by the quality of the artwork here. The University of North Florida runs this museum and they have clearly done a fantastic job of restoring and maintaining the facility. Five floors of wonderful displays. Try the coffee shop as well. Excellent service and great food.
Excellent collection of contemporary art and an exquisite visual arts education institution. From Joan Mitchell to Frank Stella to Lauren Fensterstock. I visit as often as my own studio time allows. Museum Nights (every first and third Wednesday of each month)are always fun and refreshing with new artists sharing their experiences.
It was really nice, a bit small, has a cafe area in the first floor. The art was lovely and good service. Bought the tickets via sale.
There's so much to see here! Currently Saturdays are free, which makes it a great stop for a low cost weekend with the family. It took us about 30-40 minutes to get through 4 floors of exhibits. (Don't forget about the 5th floor). Front desk was very helpful too.
This museum has some thought-provoking art. Bo Burnett was my favorite artist on exhibit there. Parking was easy and on the street with no fee because we came on a Sunday. Plan to spend about an hour and a half. It’s a gathering place for students. The staff were really friendly. It’s worth your time when you’re in Jacksonville.
We’re visiting from charlotte, NC…
They offer a discount for military, students, children, elderly… But other than that the prices are very affordable. The art shown was very nice, and we were even able to experience a interactive art piece.
I definitely enjoyed my time and if possible, I will come back.
Interesting exhibits and nice atmosphere. The staff was friendly. The entire tour of the museum was short though.
