Brigham Young University Museum of Art (MOA)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🔥 One of my favorite places in Provo. The BYU Museum of Art is honestly a peaceful and inspiring space, and every time I visit, I leave feeling recharged. The exhibits are always a great mix—some classic, some bold and modern, and some that really make you stop and think. The lighting and color exhibit in the main entry is stunning, and everything is displayed in a way that feels intentional and calming. Some highlights from my recent visit: the iconic LOVE sculpture, the powerful “Christ Healing the Sick at Bethesda” painting, and the playful (and kind of thought-provoking) “China-McDonald” piece. The whole place has this quiet energy that’s both creative and reverent. Whether you’re into art or just need a beautiful place to slow down for a bit, MOA is a gem. And it’s free, which makes it even better.

We loved the guest exhibition. The whole museum is wonderfully done barring the color on the walls in the soul exhibition downstairs, it made the informational plaques hard to read. I loved the diversity, there are many materials and subject matter to give lots of choices for different people. I can hardly wait to see the two new exhibits they are constructing. My teenage son recommended the museum so that is saying something. They have family activities to go along with the art. The cafe was closed, that was disappointing. It took us around 3 hours to go through it. It is free so great family cultural activity.

Amazing exhibition and permanent collection, top-notch among university museums, free admission!

My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed this museum. The pictures of Christ were our favorites, but their pop culture exhibit was fun too. It's not crowded either people-wise or art-wise which makes for a calming experience. Their gift shop is cute and has lots to choose from but feels a little bit cramped. I would highly recommend visiting. Especially since it's free!

Enjoyed the variety and the documentary on Australian Aboriginal Art taught me things I had never learned about their style of Art. And this MoA is free, no tickets required, except at special events.

Love their public programming for families. The exhibits are also stunning. One of Utah’s gems even if you’re not Mormon.

This is probably the most interesting museum I’ve ever visited! There weren’t many visitors when I arrived, so I was able to take my time navigating the museum. Both entrance and parking is free but you’ll need to enter through one of the campus entrances. The exhibits were eye catching, interesting and educational. I highly recommend!

I edit this post every few months to add photos—check out the most recent!! Definitely a place worth visiting if you are in the area. The presentation (lighting and spacial placement) in this museum was very well done. The pieces themselves were obviously quite stunning and the location was really easy to access. The Spanish Exhibit is going on now! Highly recommend!!
