Yet another gem of Muskegon! A nice piece of history and culture right in the heart of downtown. The building itself is beautiful, and they have exhibits upstairs that change periodically. Today we saw Measure Twice the sculptures of Ted Lott and they were incredible. The gift shop is very nice featuring an array of beautiful items to commemorate your visit or just decorate your home. Every second Saturday of the month, the general admission for the museum is free, you would only have to pay to visit the special exhibit if you wish, but you don't have to. However even if you do visit for free I would highly recommend making a donation to the museum to help them keep it beautiful, operational, and able to bring wonderful exhibits into Muskegon.
An excellent art institution in the heart of the revitalizing Muskegon city center. The exterior of the building has tons of detail and visual interest. The gift shop has unique and well created items by local artists. There are two large and two smaller exhibit galleries. The galleries are well curated and laid out. When I visited, there were specially marked pieces paired with poetry that provided an enhanced experience of the visual with the written word. Various diverse artist points of view are presented and explained through the accompanying text panels. The collections are well with the visit, while the special exhibits increase the drive even more interest.
Great local museum. I own a mini golf course in town and loaned our putters for an indoor miniARTure course they did. Loved it! Just visited again for the Rembrandt display. So cool to see the detail in some original works. They even had magnifying glasses to use. There’s a cute gift shop that also has lattes and mochas available.
I am from muskegon but live in GR, I came in to town to see the Tiffanii Massey installation not only was I impressed by that, but I was impressed to see the original oil painting of “ Tornado over Kansas”. I grew up in Muskegon my whole life and never knew this painting was there. Tiffany Masseys insulation was definitely a treat and reminded me of my teen years growing up in the 90s listening to my favorite hip-hop and R&B artist.. I look forward to seeing more work from her!
Very nice art museum, they rotate a lot of art and do showcases like pop culture, famous paintings and other events aimed at both kids and adults. Not as big as Grand Rapids. Staff are friendly and bathrooms clean. FREE THURSDAYS: 11am – 8pm – Free *general admission all day. General Admission includes access to the permanent collection galleries. It does not include admission for specialty exhibitions. SUPER SATURDAYS FREE ADMISSION on 2nd Saturdays of the month
I was pleasantly surprised how nice it was. Being new to town and after having visited a few art museum in the cultural cities of the world.… I wasn’t sure what to expect from Muskegon. But it’s quite nice. I went for the Ansel Adams exhibit and enjoyed all the rest of it as well. I look forward to going back.
This museum has an excellent glass exhibit as of July 2020, and many other very interesting exhibits displaying West Michigan artists, as well as nationally renown native american photographers and exhibits. There is also a good blend of local young artists. Lots of photography, painting, pottery, and sculpture.
Purchase your admission ticket from the gift shop on the lower level. The museum is small enough for one to see everything in a short span of time without having to walk too much. I appreciate having spent my afternoon visiting! You may take the stairs or use the elevator to reach the second floor where the main exhibits are located. Thanks for reading my review!
What a great place to see some amazing works. We were fortunate enough to see Dressing the Abbey as well.
Muskegon Museum of Art is the most beautiful, impressive art museum I've been to in the state of Michigan I'm counting the Detroit Institute of Art on that list as well and the MMA beats it, hands down. The permanent collection is bigger than one can imagine and they switch it up regularly. The special exhibits are to die for. They always have cutting edge, stunning works. And the people!! I can't begin to say enough about them. Incredible, kind, friendly...exactly the type of wonderful people you come to expect to find in Muskegon. Charles Hackley left an endowment to the museum and they use that very well, purchasing and curating a beautiful collection. Insiders note: in the permanent collection, there is a number and year on each plaque. These indicate the year purchased and the number in that year purchased. ie 5/1894. Gives even more impact, to me, of how dear Charles Hackley's endowment is to the city he loved. There is also a lovely gift shop with lots of unique things and the programs they offer are wonderful. The MMA is the embodiment of the grace and beauty of Muskegon.
