Bellevue Arts Museum

The museum is not open. However the Gift Shop is Amazing! Do stop in n and hear the story of the owner!

Visiting on a Friday afternoon is great! No crowd and easily found parking! Art items are expensive but you can support the local artists!

Nice art museum with rotating exhibitions (check website). Lots of cool and beautiful art and exhibitions, although as others have mentioned this museum is significantly smaller than ex. SAM or MoPOP. (It is also cheaper!) As a general heads up, they no longer do free first Fridays but offer a free 2nd Sunday for students, and discounts on tickets for Bellevue collection. When I went, tickets were $15 for adults/$8 for youth (17 and under). I have never seen a wait or a large crowd (except during artsfair in the summer) so it tends to be a quiet museum. Their exhibits are mainly on the 2nd and 3rd floor. On the 2nd floor there's a cool community art room which is great for kids to make their own art and hang it on the walls. On the 3rd floor there's a small outdoor patio area as well you can access behind two doors.

Indeed modern abstract art, from the subtle messages the artists wishes to convey to the head scratching (in a good way I guess lol) I just wish there were more artwork but not bad. I spent a good 90 min here and no regrets.

This is a clean and sophisticated museum that rotates new art every six months. I've found it to be a great place to visit for a calm and expressive experience before heading to one of the great restaurants nearby. I've also had memorable experiences learning from the staff here who are outgoing and knowledgeable.

Love, love, love this museum. Was recently there to install Nicole Gordon’s fantastic show “Altered States” and could not have had a more delightful experience. The staff and docents are great; friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Am returning soon (from Chicago no less) and very much looking forward to my next visit. This museum is a 10 out of 10 all the way round; really interesting exhibits and great staff, what more could you ask for?

I visited the museum with my cousin, we wanted to view the Burning Man exhibition. They had a small collection of gifts handed out on the playa, plus a few portraits of scenes of various moments throughout the time Burning Man has been held at Black Rock. I meandered through some of the other art exhibits which where very cool to see and some even interact with. I had an enjoyable day.

I visited this museum for the first time in the early afternoon on a Friday and was blown away! They had just opened two new exhibits on the top floor that morning so I got to walk around and experience them practically alone, which was lovely. The glass show on the second floor was beautiful and inspiring, and I was moved to tears by Julie Green’s project on the stairwell.
