Reviews of Boca Raton Museum of Art (Museum)

Mariana Carrizosa Ricaurte

Small but interesting. Good exhibition for this summer season. Nice place to take my kid and spend some time watching art.

Dennis Campbell

For a relatively small town museum, there were several interesting exhibits. I particularly liked the photography exhibit.

Eugene Foerster

The upstairs is a typical museum with a permanent gallery of diverse and interesting pieces. Down stairs is a rotating display, this one was rather eclectic and had some odd stuff. Overall the museums is beautiful and worth the stop.

Mima Antoine

Boca museum is small and very well organized. The receptionist was nice and helpful. The best part is that they have programs for kids. Awesome

Nancy Schmatz

Food was delicious, but is a very noisy restaurant. Good for groups having a fun time, but definitely not for a quiet dinner or conversation. We were there on a Saturday night, so maybe other nights are not so loud.

Robin Smollar

Always fulfilling its mission and working hard to have new programs.

Greg Rosenberg

The Boca Raton Museum of Art is a great two-story museum located in Mizner Park. This Museum houses a large variety of work. Upstairs houses the permanent collection (including African art), and the downstairs are the temporary/traveling exhibits. I visited the Boca Raton Museum of Art for the second time in July 2018. Admission was free for the entire month thanks to PNC Bank. The two main exhibits were tapestry/carpet and a large collection of Lisette Model's photography. When you arrive, I recommend finding out when the free one-hour guided tours are offered. We did this and enjoyed the information that the guide shared. I don't live far from the Boca Raton Museum of Art, but I always forget it's there. I want to get in the habit of checking their website regularly to see what the traveling exhibits are. I definitely want to visit this museum more often.

Dave Dickler

Nice exhibits, hard floors and few places to sit and look at the art. Nice docents.

Karen Bowman

Good place to take teenager, then eat in local area

Karin Nordlander

Love all their special expos.

Nico

Excellent tapestry exhibition! Visited on a free day in July! Couldn't have been any better

Jesse Rappoport

Enjoying being a member thus availing ourselves not only to view art but also periodically the live concerts in the unique ambience of being surrounded by art.

Dan Garcia

Nonprofit organization this place is amazing

John Banta

Great collection and great range of art to see. I really loved the modern art paintings collections

Kara M.

I came here in the month of July, when the admission is free. We are new to the area, so this was our first visit. Admission is normally $12, that seems fair to me for the size of this museum. If you are looking for a unique date spot, you could come here to check out art and dine in adjacent Mizner Park. I'm not that knowledgable when it comes to art, I prefer diverse museums like NYC's Metropolitan Museum of Art or fun ones like LA's The Broad. One of the current special exhibits that I enjoyed was the contemporary tapestries and carpets. One of the upcoming exhibits that looked interesting is called "Imagining Florida: History and Myth in the Sunshine State." There was an interesting photography exhibit on the upper floor as well. I'd budget about 1-2 hours for a visit here, that should give you ample time to see everything. I really liked the diverse mix of art on display here. I hope to come back again when the exhibits change.

Lucky Lucian

They have some interesting pieces of art here and some historical exhibits as well. Students get in for free so its worth a visit.

Joel Thom

Always a pleasure.

Peggy Monzillo

Various interesting exhibits

kiddia talley

The best art museum I've ever been to! I adored all the monumental black art.

Ursula Auger

Free admission as part of the Boca Art Festival. Volunteered to gather feedback for museum experience. Facility was clean.

William Grant

This museum pretty small compared to some others I have been to. However this art museum has a few different popular artists, little diversity art wise, and a few little things to amuse children. Things for children to do includes a room that has TV's playing cartoons with children books on shelves and a paper handed out at the front desk that if completed a prize will be rewarded. This museum is good however I beleive it needs a bigger selection.

Robert Schlamowitz

No major exhibit when I visited but regular art was good and senior price was right

Andrea Murphy

What an amazing experience today, plus entry was free. Great xzibit

This is a really cool museum with free admission. The have lots of room to move around among the different displays of all kinds of art. You're bound to find some really fascinating pieces.

Kris Henke

This museum has a great selection of a variety of artistic items. There are many events to enjoy and there is always a special exhibition. There is something for everyone to enjoy. It is located downtown with many wonderful restaurants.

Sunkist Mehta

This is a distinguished museum with a wonderful collection. Not only does it have paintings but also sculptures, decorative arts, furniture, textiles, costumes, drawings, pastels, watercolors, collages, prints, artist's books, photographs, and installation art. You can get free entry on select days. Check out their website for more on that. There is also a lot of options to eat and shop nearby, so you can make it a fun day out.

The Boca Raton Museum of Art was founded by artists in 1950 as The Art Guild of Boca Raton. Today in addition to the museum and gift shop there is also an art school. My daughter used to attended summer camp at the art school when she was in elementary school. I have fond memories of seeing her summer art project on display here. The two story museum has an impressive permanent collection that includes art by Degas, Matisse, Picasso and Warhol. A photography collection and Pre Colombian and African Art are also part of the permanent collection. Several temporary exhibits are also on display. When I visited they included Imagining Florida: History and Myth in the Sunshine State, Michael Smith: Excuse Me!?!...I'm Looking for the "Fountain of Youth", and Daniel Faust: Florida Photos from the 1980's. I enjoyed seeing the new exhibits but my favorite paintings were by AE Backus and the Florida Highwaymen. Backus was a landscape painter in the Fort Pierce area of Florida who inspired a group of African American painters known as the Highwaymen. They drove down the coast of Florida in the 1950's selling landscapes they created out of the trunks of their cars. There is a museum created by Backus in Fort Pierce. I also enjoyed two paintings of the Barefoot Mailman. In the 1850's the Barefoot Mailmen carried the mail from Palm Beach to Miami in 3 days by walking on the beach barefoot. One of them mysteriously disappeared at the Hillsboro Lighthouse. In addition to all of the wonderful art inside there is also a sculpture garden around the outside of the museum. My visit to the museum was part of PNC's free family day which is held the first Sunday of every month. During the event they offer crafts for kids. The museum also hosts a number of programs for adults during the year including lecture, tours, and classes. No visit to the museum would be complete without a stop in the gift shop which offers unique items, pieces by local artists, and beautiful jewelry. Even if You have to pay the entrance fee it is a reasonable $12. Students and children under 12 are free. They offer memberships that help support this important cultural institution. Although not as large as some the other art museums in Palm Beach County it is well taking the time to visit. Coupled with the extensive restaurants within walking distance, lunch and a visit to this museum could make for the perfect afternoon.

Susana Rodriguez

This is a Great museum offering contemporary and period art and sculptures. The current exhibit on comic book art alone was worth the trip. The exterior sculpture garden was quite interesting and picture worthy. Planning on a return trip soon and awaiting the next exhibit. The museum is located in Mizner park and is a great way to start a nice day out followed by shopping and dining.

Rudi Bester

This museum is small and understated, and appears to be trying to figure out what it would like to be when it grows up. It features some interesting artworks, a couple of permanent exhibitions mixed with some topical, temporary exhibits. Entrance was free for the month (bank sponsored). Few people in attendance on a Sunday afternoon when we expected it to be busy. It has a gift shop with interesting goodies, and friendly staff.

A. Aarons

This was my first visit to the museum. It was great that guests were allowed in "free" during July, and students are always free. Whether the gallery is large or small, is irrelevant. Allowing the public to have access to diverse art forms is essential. I enjoyed the visit with my family. Sharing our different views about the collection was memorable. We took a lot of pictures and had a great time. Thank you.

David Polk

A fine little museum featuring both a permanent collection upstairs and rotating exhibitions downstairs (in addition to a courtyard with sculptures outside). Worth an hour or two on a rainy day.

Diamond Coach Limousine

Boca Raton Museum of Art is one of the best in South Florida! They always have incredible exhibitions and fantastic atmosphere! There's gift shop and sculpture garden. Museum offers amazing programs for different interests and ages. It's located in the heart of Boca Raton - Mizner Park where you can easily find free parking and best restaurants in the city. #LetsGuide, #LocalGuides

Bruce Bertman

Great events.

David Burruss

Gregg Chatterton

Lot of fun. Plenty of areas to rest and observe the pieces of art. Nice place to visit on a hot summer day.

Barbara K Iverson

Interesting exhibit on Florida.

Mariel Henkoff

For a local museum, the collections are intriguing and thoughtfully curated. When we visited, there were incredible works of glass and mixed assembly pieces, with a wonderful mix of oil and watercolor paintings. Stop by for an hour or so and roam around. Don't miss the red mangrove trees reproduced from 85,000 crystals!

Aaron Murphy

They had a fantastic "Art Find" scavenger hunt that kept my son engaged and eager to see the next section throughout.

Julliana x

Armine Aleksanian

Nice museum for the size of the city, different collections for different tastes. I truly enjoyed it!

Ethan Levin

Impressive place.

A580

Racist facility My husband and I each went in separately to inquire about employment. I am Caucasian and he is African American and native american. I was told the name of their website, where to click and who to talk to after my application was submitted to get an interview started. My husband was told to "go to the website" and was dismissed. There was no mention of work experience or any qualifying questions. The only thing separating us was skin. Ladies and gentlemen, I welcome you to the Boca museum of Art.

Louie MASSARI

Pleasant DAY at the Boca Museum of Art. Excellent Presentation!

Chinedu Amaefula

The Boca Raton Museum of Art is a beautiful place with rotating curated art exhibitions and scheduled live events. A perfect place for relaxation, children, family outings or individuals seeking visual stimulation via internationally displayed fine art, antiquarian books, oil paintings, photography and modern hand craftsmanship. Awesome individual and family membership options as well.

Estefania

Paul Heffner

The BRMA never fails to present interesting and thought provoking exhibits. Always worth a visit.

This museum is the best that's ever been in Boca. It has some amazing permanent works and an impressive history of hosting some of the best travelling exhibits. I saw the Warhol Show there, which was quite informative. Grab some lunch, visit the museum, see some art. It's great.

Aimee Tariq

Wonderful employees.

Elizabeth Allen

Disappointing. Lots of modern junk. Not a great world class museum. Norton much better

Danielle McLean

Such a fun way to spend a Saturday afternoon. Loved the sculpture garden!

Carolishca Forster

It is a small and lovely museum with an interesting donated collection. I love the gift shop. The products are fantastic and for sale at reasonable prices. The reason I only gave the Boca Raton Museum only 4 stars is because I so happened to be at the there at a time when the special exhibition was not set up yet but I still have to pay the same entrance fee. I think it should have been at a reduced rate. All in all this is a great place to enjoy an afternoon. It is in a great area with lots of restaurants and free parking.

Rhonda Phillips

Small but wonderful art museum. Traveling exhibits and permanent collection.

Barbara Berkun

Our favorite art museum in Florida. Always interesting to see what exhibit is featured. Excellent jazz once every month.

Cruz Anibal Rodriguez

Great visit to this museum with our grandkids. Had a guided tour with a wonderful lady. She explained a lot to the kids and made them look at art with a critical eye, letting them interpret different pieces. She had excellent control of the kids all the time making the visit very enjoyable. The kids had a chance to express their artistic aptitudes at the end of the visit.

Joan Stewart

Very informative and educational for students as my self in University studies and my elective is modern Art, Picasso, Raphael, Matisse, Cubist.. etc Etc.

Alexandra Paredes

Small beautiful museum in Boca. Opens late on Thursday which is perfect for a date/activity after work. They have a pretty good permanent collection.

Adam Siegel

I've only been here for a wedding, and it's a lovely and classy venue. It is a little strange to have a dance floor right across from a Holocaust exhibit, but it didn't bother me.

marc fishman

Nice cute local collection

Ani Sisul

Great selection, very clean

Giselle J

Can't beat free admission in August and the portrait of Big Daddy Kane is priceless

Kayla James Johnson

We enjoyed the Boca Art Museum. It's small so you only need an hour or two and they have a scanner hunt for kids.

Carolina Velez

It was all right! Small museum and collection, with a few nice pieces!

Joanna Mattson

Boca Raton Museum of Art gets 4 stars. For a small museum they certainly know how to work with what they have. The current exhibition (Florida Invitaional) is eh, but is made up for by the permanent collection, in which they have many excellent pieces of art.

James Chappy

A really awesome place, lots of interesting art wet and you lie and it was actually free to get in

Terry Pauley

Loved the museum itself. Outside sculpture garden could have been a little more interesting. Gift shop was pricey but hey it is Boca baby!!!

Cj Sanders

Usually the good thing about this place is that they have deals going on all the time.I came here for the first time and it was such a quiet peaceful environment.
