Darius Miller

It's a great idea to bring kids and family to explore the art and the park

Nyenya Webster

Great Experience students really enjoyed.

Mike S

My grandkids had a blast

Brittany Owens

This place is constantly changing, updated, remodeling, and moving. It's always a new experience. I love all of the new things coming. I love having a nice, clean, relaxing place to go and relax, walk, and enjoy art work.

Aaron Madden

The park that is around Art Museum is great for walking and picnics. The museum has quarterly art exhibits that change out. There is always something new to see. They also have some works of Zelda Fitzgerald on display.

Misty Kidd

This is a very nice museum.

Landon Gearhart

Needed a place to burn a couple of hours during a recent road trip and after some google searching we found this museum. It was very nice and everyone was very friendly. Kids really enjoyed the kids area. Well worth the price of free!!

willie wynn

Go out there wit the babymama and baby's

Shannon Thomas

Lovely facility with changing art exhibits so you have a reason for return trips. Nice cafe for a relaxing lunch or snack to round out your visit even providing one vegan option.

Courtney Aycock

The museum is beautiful, as are the grounds. The children's area is WONDERFUL! Very interactive, and there is a lot for the kiddos to do. My two year old had a blast, but it's perfect for older kids as well. We will definitely be back.

Lydia Millington

I loved the African Art exhibit on the 2nd floor.

Jordan Edwards

My first time being here, we were on Spring Break but anyway I really enjoyed this place. There were a lot of things to see and the guards and staff were awesome and friendly.. Even though the guard that me and my family had talked to us half to death and showed us where to go and he even made us laughed we really enjoyed ourselves that day... LOL

Phalecia Young

Beautiful. Great place to bring the family.

Zandra Alexander

My 3yr old daughter loved the kids interactive art part of the museum and I just loved the set up and flow of the galleries will be bringing my oldest children here next time we come to ally to visit family.

mizz2ts86

Absolutely Amazing! My baby has artwork there! I loved the performances and artwork by all of the kids

Lazeralien B

Kids area was fun and had a lot of activities. We spent 2 hours with young children entertained the whole time. Security staff was anal about multiple things and more restrictive than the rules stated (bringing a "flat stanley" for photos). Ruined the experience.

Michelle Williams

I love it

Ruth Dellinger-Young

I'm so thankful people help preserve the land, arts and everything in the museum represented. Such a wonderful place.

Belinda Farrior

Love going here.

Gillian

Unexpected gem in Montgomery. Entrance is free. The artwork is beautiful and everyone is very friendly. The blown glass exhibit was brilliant as well as the sculpture garden. A must see!

Ann Riley

Attended the artist talk with Richard Mills this afternoon and it was very enjoyable and is a beautiful museum.

Kim Lee

Beautiful, event was wonderful, people were helpful.

chuck plntguyc

I walked there in the humidity and it was a nice cool and pleasant museum. I was curious to see more historical art, maybe Antebellum Alabama. There was Voting happening while I was there. T/he staff were friendly and welcoming. There is a pond outside and people were feeding turtles.

Christine Riello

Beautiful grounds and amazing museum!

Tomeka Parker

Beautiful serene family place

Bettina Stoutmire McGhee

It's so beautiful inside and outside and my enjoyed the tour

val c

Great museum is well worth finding. It's set inside a park that has great paths to jog on. There were sculptures outside around the museum with descriptions inside the museum if you wished to view them from the large windows. Attached to the main museum is a children's interactive musuem. It teaches them the different styles of art. The hallway that connects them to the main museum has students art from various schools. The museum itself is 2 stories and very large as well as spacious. You can easily spend 2 or more hours enjoying the various types of art.

arnesha wiggins

Mary Beth Phillips

Went to an 80th birthday celebration in Cafe M, very nice, beautiful and peaceful scenery. Highly recommend a visit to the museum.

Steven Bulin

Free, great atmosphere, amazing galleries of awesome artists! Love it EVERY time I visit!

Daniel Stever

My daughter and I love this place!! Art for the grown ups plus a place for the kids that is all hands on. Outside is beautiful and you can feed ducks and geese. Awesome place for a picnic on the lawn!!

Zach Gantt

Falicia Ware

Surviver T

Nice place

Gretchen Perry

This is a wonderful museum and thghe kids area is fantastic

Kathleen Roe

Wonderful exhibit of Southern Women Artists, well curated exhibits overall in an approachable setting. Nice sculpture garden as well.

April Damato

We had a great time at the children's museum portion. Some updates to that area could be nice, but we had a great time anyway! We explored the fine arts as well and it peaked the interest of one of my children, so we will be back soon!

Michael DeVore

Really awesome permanent collection (from Impression and American Post-Impressionism through Hopper. Plenty of Alabama artists and other categories represented as well) and interesting traveling exhibits. Uncrowded. Lots to explore. Free We are definitely coming back to spend more time.

daris johnson

My son enjoyed his visit, which is a plus in my book

Avel Villegas

Great place to take the kids. preteen enjoyed the technology, preschooler enjoyed the car race, puppets and color me in motion exhibit.

Jackie Sexton

Beautiful place,u can even feed the ducks,jus bring some bread,its fun

Aris Drayton-Vaughan

Check out the HUGE labor themed Jacob Lawrence exhibit before it leaves next month!!

Ron Maffei

No bags allowed?! Why not just do a bag check? It’s preposterous to come all the way to a museum and then be told you have to leave your bag in the car. This should be a banner on the web page warning patrons of this peculiar rule. At 100deg in the shade I am not leaving my personal affects in the car.

Jeremy Lynch

Amazing art and great classes for children to attend!!

Martha Watkins

It a beautiful place and its relaxing with lots to see.

Michelle Locke

Took the grands on a Sunday Funday. It was a great place!

Emily Jones

Fun for the family while there. When we called back to ask the name of an artist they had on display (we couldn't remember name) the lady who answered the phone was insanely rude and refused to tell us the name. She admitted she knew the name, but that we could come back if we wanted to know. We explained we didn't live near them, we had been on a trip, and she still refused.

Marcellin Kopandru

Low-key. Clean. Relaxing. Far from the center of the city, but, great place to relax, especially given the surrounding green space.

Emily Oswalt

Beautiful place to visit that doesn't cost anything. It is a fun place for everyone. They have all different types of art, and they are almost done with the new outside garden. They have different pieces that come in for limited amounts of time, so you usually see new things every time you visit. There is a separate place just for the kids where they can interact with all kinds of things. The outside is a great place to take pictures and interact with the ducks.

Juliana Daniels

Great experience. Very busy.

Pablo Espinoza Cirano

Wow this is awsome people, if you stay on the road please visit this museum is a really beautiful place in Montgomery 100 % approved.....

Amy Lovett

Food's fine. Staff is friendly but sometimes inexperienced. Ours wasn't familiar with traditional mixed drink names or availability from the bar.

Tim Lipinsky

Located in Alabama Shakespeare Festival (some people call it the Wynton M. Blount Cultural Park), it's one of the only places to appreciate mutiple forms of artwork in the city. Admission and parking are completely free, but donations are welcome. They have new exhibits regularly and even display local artworks. The museum has a cafe, a store, and even a kids' area. Check out their website if planning a trip, or you can just swing by. Usually open 10am- 5pm, 12am-5pm on Sunday, and CLOSED ON ALL MONDAYS and Holidays.

John Wright

This is a great place to take the kids nice art and variety great experience

Manera Saloom

Lovely place to visit and view exhibits. Love the interactive exhibit for children!

Christopher Lett

Its is a very nice place with a very diverse collection of art work and family activities.

Mardy Wilkes

Excelent

Carrie Stark

Fun kids area. Nice artwork. Outside is a fun place to picnic and walk around the fish pond.

Brad Lee

Beautiful paintings, sculptures, photos and glass works. My wife broke her foot a few days before and was wearing a cast. The museum loaned me a wheelchair to pick her up in the parking lot and take her through the exhibits. The staff was very friendly and helpful, although there was one guard who followed us around like she thought we might steal something. Lol

Donna Wood

Just a great experience. Go there staff the exhibits all is wonderful

Kat Serafin

Love their DiVine Lunch special wine pairing. Chef Jennie Weller always comes up with a great menu!

Victoria Mystic

A fresh creative retreat ❤️

Willie Wynn

I love it out there it look nice to like the lil lake they have there's a lot to see there open walk space

Glorious Adventure

Great place to take the kids for an hour or 2. On nice days you can feed the ducks outside and take a walk. On rainy days it gives you something to do indoors.

Troy Fleming

Lovely art with children themed areas..+++

denise lensgraf-landers

Wonderful place full of inspiration and appreciation of talent

Anthony C.

Great work and nice place to get out for a day from the hustle and bustle.

Joe P

Medium sized art museum that is about half permanent exhibit and half on rotation. The kids section has lots of engaging and educational activities for children which certainly amused my girlfriend. The grounds are huge with many musical events being held in and around the facility, some of which are free, some not. The museum itself is totally free and right next to the Shakespeare Festival theater. Between the two, a great way to spend the day.

Sean Park

Really good place I recommand for family picnic

Christian Kafka

Thus is a must see, it was amazing

Amelia Blackwood

Artworks Exhibition for Children sponsored by Montgomery's Junior League is just as enjoyable today in my adulthood as it was when it first opened in my childhood. I love taking kids for their first visit & seeing the surprise & excitement in their eyes as they turn each corner...and the motion screen room is clearly my STILL top attraction in my book!!! Thank you, Ladies of the Junior League, for your continued support of such a worthy & wonderfully fun cause!!!

ALVIN GILCHRIST

Beautiful place to take Family and Friends! By the way bring plenty of

Anita Parker

They just opened the new open door exhibit. It looks real nice.

Steph Shu

Nice museum, it's free and they have a donation container. They don't have cameras in the parking lot area and my vehicle was broken into. Glass broken, a bag taken but no one was hurt. Be careful as to what you leave seen.

Jurjen Smies

This is a very pleasant museum, and an excellent diversion for an afternoon when the weather makes being outside uncomfortable. Sure, it's not the Louvre but what can you expect in a state capital with a population of a few hundred thousand? But it has a children's wing to keep yours occupied, and a rather eclectic collection of paintings and sculpture, much of it by artists from Alabama, and admission is free. I heartily recommend it.

Akeisha Arnold

I take my children often but this trip was a pre-k class trip so we got the chance to see a puppet show and it was super cute and perfect for the little ones. It reinforced shapes in a very creative and relatable way.

LadyA

The museum rests near I 85 and Vaughn Road. It has been in existence for over 20 years with expansion currently in progress now. There are ducks to feed and a wonderful little cafe inside. There's a children's area housed at the front left end of the gallery. They have interactive play as well as story time. The exhibit changes periodically, so visit often. Walking trails are adjacent to the building for the health conscience. Groups are welcome.

Max DeBaltzo

First and foremost, it was free to come here. It was also perfect for my whole family. There was an area for my children to play and explore and utilize many interactive displays. The outdoor sculpture garden was very unique and a great spot to visit on a sunny summer day.

Terry Combs

Enjoyed a casual walk through this collection of impressive works. Great jazz band playing while in attendance added to the atmosphere. Excellent Art Works children's interactive section.

Hoyt Phillips

Beautiful museum in a beautiful setting. It’s free to enter. The space is nice and open with some very nice installations. Be sure to venture outside to the sculpture garden. The museum is in Blount park so it’s also nice to park and walk the grounds. I highly recommend a visit.

Christopher Jackson

Great place for family. I would recommend one to visit the museum with kids and young adults to expose them to the arts and humanities.

gelato

Gorgeous art with calm and serene surroundings for proper enjoyment. Glad there’s also a kids’ section. Nieces and nephews enjoy it very much. Keeps them busy and focused.

kamya Bristow

Had a great time on my mother /daughter date

Carol Roberts

I had not been in the Arts Museum before my daughter had to go for a school function. I was glad to finally see the inside. It is very interesting, and the artwork is amazing. There was also a display of china when we went. Local student artists also have work displayed here. And the museum is free to visitors. There is a gift shop where you can buy something if you'd like to help support the Museum.

Kimberly McGuinty

MMFA is a fixture of Montgomery Living, and a vital home for Alabama artists.

Cameran Hollins

They have a fun area for the kids

Rachel Harris

I love how this place is free to the community! It's so beautiful inside and out.

Катрин Хаджицинова

Our family love this place, every week there have events, sometime free...

Michael Donahue

It’s so nice to have a free fine arts museum in town. There is a great kids area in the museum with lots of interactive games and and activities. There is an original Charlie Russell and some cool sculptures. The pond in front is full of turtles which the kids had a lot of fun feeding bread to. The museum is part of the Alabama Shakespeare Festival complex which has two big ponds and lots of walking paths.

Shirley Weeden

Beautiful facility. Great artwork from children and professionals. Very quiet.

This museum is very nice and there isn't a fee to enter. They accept donations. I went here on a date and the exhibits were wonderful! The gift shop also had lots of items to choose from. There is a nice cafe, but go online or call to verify the hours. There is a children's section so your little ones will enjoy themselves as well. The museum offers art classes and activities for kids! Hope you enjoy your visit!

christopher jones

Great class!

Sheila Michaels

Great food and service at the cafe. Wonderful way to spend an afternoon.

Gene Brooks

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts today. There were nearly all styles of painting and expression there. I was impressed by the presence of three Rembrandts, several Thomas Hart Bentons, and other well-known and local artists from Alabama. I enjoyed the exploration of culture at the intersection of Art. Upstairs is a small collection of African traditional masks and art. There is quite a bit of spiritism connected with these masks and art. I highly recommend to visit to this spacious, bright, and beautiful Museum in Alabama.

Larissa Silveira

Nice place! The garden is very beautiful. Many activities for children

Frances Patterson

Nice serene museum and surroundings

Stacy Benefield

Wonderful programming for children including the Artworks children's area. My child just finished the nature-themed art camp and loved it! She completed several different pieces of art.

alma martija

Good art and garden art. Bring the kids every week, not to play but to learn and appreciate. So nice of the city to give it's people this privilege for free

Anja Pledger

I love the new addition to the museum

Chelle Ham

Beautiful location and lots of lovely art inside .

Tracy Mbewe

It was nice to explore new and nice staff

Patricia Gaddis

Very nice museum, good way to spend a quiet weekend afternoon. Enjoyed the exhibits, the location is also very nice. Staff was helpful. I guess the one negative would be, the gift shop closed before the museum did,so I missed visiting the giftshop,after viewing the exhibits. I will go back when I am in the area again.

Sara West

Very nice museum, good way to spend a quiet weekend afternoon.

Ellen Hathcote

Sometimes I drive through on my way home just to slow down & de-stress from the crazy traffic! ☺

STEPHEN ANGULU

It was a great place. Beautiful art works. A good place for a family to visit.

Gil Brady

A real surprise! Impeccably clean, gorgeous and interesting collections, friendly and helpful staff. The grounds are beautiful to boot! My favorite was the sculpture garden but if you make it before January 20th, the simply stunning Lino Tagliapietra glass blown art exhibit is among the best you’ll see outside of Italy. A must-do if you’re touring Montgomery.

Chelsea Boyd

Pretty nice place.. Everything you'd expect from an Art Gallery I suppose.. I like their children's area and the hallway full of art that grade-schoolers did. It is usually very inspirational. Most of the art museum doesn't really seem to change and once you've seen it, that's really all there is.. but they do have exhibits rom time to time that can be kind of cool. I like the outdoor area where you can feed the ducks and the evil swans and how close it is to the Shakespeare Theater place.

Phil Lunney

It was quite a find If you have art on your mind A curvaceous and obscure driveway Helped to frame the location this day Then we discover that it's free So what's not to see With a varied collection Every room created a section With an outdoor art to come We may have to return and then some But relax and enjoy the settings And there will be no regretting Phil Lunney 9.12.2018

Brice Thompson

Very imposing building, exhibits and displays are placed in a very subtle manner allowing you to spend time examining them at your leisure. Very quiet and peaceful. The exhibits are easily interpreted. I love to go there.

Andrea Cheatham

My son 5th grade class artwork is on display.

Chris clinkscale

It's always soothing!

Ginger Gams

Nice place for lunch, really good food and an awesome waiter. My only complaint is no dessert. This is the south. I want some pie.
