Reviews of The Bronx Museum of the Arts (Museum)

Chris Woodson

Never been there until today and I loved how they had plenty of activities for families to do with there children. It is perfect for a simple class trip as well. I also enjoy the art of where I lived all my life the Bronx. Its was an interesting fun filled experience.

ROBERTO RODRIGUEZ

Thanks again for your time and effort

Esthela Michel

It's what you expect museums to be, there was just a dry element to it all. I wish there were more art installations. Unfortunately, if you're accustomed to some of the Museums in the city, you'll feel the emptiness of this place. The art they did have was more than adequate, staff are involved and friendly. I feel this place needs just a bit more attention. White walls deserve bursts of colorful and cultural art and they have some, but they need more. Will return to note any evolution.

Whitney Hicks

Yeah it's free and an wonderful experience especially with kids but you won't really see much unless you pay to get in......bummer....

Adelyn Castro

This museum is one of the most underrated museums in the entire city. It's proximity to Yankee stadium makes it accessible, and it's art displays and exhibitions are always well curated. I am a fan. It's also one of these museums where you will find works local and international artists. It's a fun and small space that contribute so much to the wonders of my home borough the Bronx. Also check out their monthly family friendly events. So much fun.

Antonio Quesada

Awesome venue with some great exhibits.

John DeMarco

Always enjoying to enter this miseum space. The BMA holds many other events too. Many times they feature an artist and offer much insight to background. I believe tours are available too.

It's the Bronx

Michael Tuttle

Went to THE MOTH Story Slam at the Bronx Museum. It was not my first time at a Moth slam, but was the first time I was asked to judge the performances...was a great time. The Bronx Museum had a wide open performance space, good lighting, good aucustics even with hundreds in the audience...a great space for a Moth Slam. Also, I felt compelled to imbibe in the Bronx Brew. #BronxMuseum #theMoth

Jeannette Sosa

Nice

JAY OVERTON

Hidden Gem, in plain sight !!!

Mercedes Madera

It was nice, just wish it had more exhibits open. They will soon so I will be returning ❤❤

Jan Katz

Very under-rated. Some excellent curatorial efforts. Definitely visit for the AIM biennial and other shows are very often interesting. Not many visitors making it seem like a private gallery.

Karla Cabrera Carrera

Such a great free asset in our Bronx community.

Joel Rodriguez

Enjoyed very much the Peter Campus video art exhibition.

Ryse J

Needs more art work. I was expecting to see art work showing how the bronx has transformed over the years. I was disappointed. The Museum itself is a beautiful space.

Orlando Ferrand

A sumptuous space and one of the best contemporary art museums in the world. The spacious rooms make it a very dynamic site that can accommodate not only wide possibilities for display of artworks but also for various programming ranging from lectures to multidisciplinary workshops. This museum is always free and aims at creating an interactive experience with the urban community of The Bronx. I am proud to have been a featured writer at the Bronx Stories, which is part of the 2016 remarkable exhibit Art AIDS America.

Steve Kesos

Great Art Show Henry Chalfant , 1977-1987 Subway trains as they once were

Fun NYC

I was a bit disappointed. Very small exhibition, only one artist showing some photos about about 1970s Upper west side and Bronx. I didn't see anything from Latino or Asian artists. Facility is clean and staff very friendly.

Erik Gonzalez

Did Boogie on the Boulevard this weekend. Like a Summer Streets for the Bronx. Last one of this year will be Sept. 10, 2017. There community here is strong and there is lots of culture to go around. It's definately a Happy place.

Kim Glasford

It a cool place to throw day partys.

rico colon

The place is unbelievable I have a great time there I recommend stopping by

Devon Horsford

Very nice space and currently a plethora of abstract art exhibits open for tons of interpretation. Never too crowded, always clean and calming. Nice to come hear a lone for a little piece of mind or with a friend or a loved one. Truly one of the most underrated gems the west Bronx has to offer.

Tammie Crowder

The museum is beautiful nice ora of people there. First visit was pleased, with all the art.

Daniel Potter

Interesting place. They had only two exhibitions, much smaller than I expected, but then again, it's free admission so I can't complain.

Chauncy Young

This museum is free for the community and has a great calendar of events. The museum hosts many private and public meetings in it's space in addition to educational and artistic programs directly sponsored by the museum. Check out the youth programs for school and families.

Lorraine Acosta

My son had an amazing experience.

Janik Zikovsky

Excellent, thought-provoking art in the current exhibit of Cuban artists. The space is not very big but well laid out. Free admission, well worth a visit!

Dave DeSimone

I wish the exhibitions had greater diversity representing all of the arts

Moises Rivera

My workplace for 23 years.

yahaira franco

The museum is the best place to bring my kids and friends to spend time learning about different cultures, the ancestors, art, sculptures, pictures, videos , documentaries and enjoying reading with them. I always like to discover things about other countries and love to learn about their food and also try new recipes with my kids , so they learn how other people survive and utilize things that we have differently. Just love to nuture my intellect, relief stress and have fun. So this one way to do so. My kids love it too, so I recommend it all of you as well, come visit and enjoy.

Frieda Jones

A dynamic place; curators are committed to diversity in class, ethnicity. Diana Hadid's exhibition was stunning. Manuel Mendive's work interesting and evocstive.

Diahann De Ruggerio

It's donation only and the exhibitions were top notch!

mowshe K

I was actually in Bronx housing

Nickie Charles

The Bronx Museum a little bit of heaven where a community that has seen its trials and tribulations showcase it's people. The flavor of people's lives are home here. Those of African descent, Asian, and Latino grace and dominate the landscape. Yes it is a the beauty of life that makes BxMA so outstandingly beautiful. Enjoy!

Gabriel The Gamer

Nice for a baby shower and wedding

Daniel Zolotor

Amazing the collection was really great. Beautiful space .Really easy to get to. I've thought of going there for the longest time . Just kept saying maybe next week. I'll be waiting for them to change the collection so I can go back again. Oh yeah and it's free.

John Doe

Very Professional atmosphere

nicole raverta

Great to bring family or a friend Amazing

Sarah Mills

They don't allow strollers so we had to carry our babies which made it harder to enjoy, which is too bad since it's a nice neighborhood museum otherwise. It's big and accessible so I don't really understand why they don't allow strollers.

Alex Moulton

Wonderfully curated and lovely gallery spaces. It’s a small but increasingly important museum within the NYC arts community, and well worth a visit with each new show.

MONEY VARSITY FILMS

Ever changing atmosphere of art. And they host many events successfully. Good choice

massimo pileggi

must see exhibit on train graffiti. its a time capsule of ultra nyc culture. you would be a fool to miss it

larry slade

Elan HiArt

Its a welcoming space that shares art and excellence with the Bronx community and beyond.

Elizabete Souza

Celeste LEdwards

Saw 2 great exhibits...Rochelle Feinstein and Eddie Martinez!

Lisa Romero

This was my first visit with my son. A bit small but unique. We enjoyed all the different versions of art the museum had on display. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

AJ Buquicchio

Interesting place with some amazing art work. The place is vast... you can get lost in there for a while.. highly recommended!! Enjoy!!

Lucia Solorzano

Great visual exhibit, a must see

Stephen Elliot

I was only there for a storytelling event, so my review is limited. It was a decent venue for the audience of maybe 200 people with extra room. However the bathrooms weren't designed to handle that kind of volume. Seems like it used to be a school before being converted into what it is today.

Christopher Sosiewicz

It's not the med but it's good for what it is and it is loaded with young art of the future.

Warriornan Plays

Not much too see. Not for little kids

mildred james

Very pleasant and informative

FANTASTIKROME

Loved the Graff exhibit. One of the best I've been to.

Stefry Sanchez

This is one museum that is a must see. Always have cool event and never have the same displays. I love this museum because it's modern and weird and retro all rolled into one

byulaa yoo

Great space of art and cultural community events including MOTH series!

Maria Carrasquillo

Isn't a great location to bring 5-6 yr olds on a school trip , our tour guy Mr. Ivan bored our kids with his life stories instead of doing arts and crafts ....

Kerry Allen

Very nice experience!

JHOANNA P

this musuem needs more attention , there is not much to see there...

ni Howard

Beautiful work

DEREK Hall

Nice local museum with live music nights.

Ant Man

Nice

Diane Albanese

What a shock to find this incredible place on our first trip to Brooklyn! The Rodin sculptures alone are worth the trip but the museum was teeming with sounds and sights and groups of children learning and listening to art. Loved the women’s triangle exhibit: a table set to honor women in history that really made me think. Great place for families or just solo!

robbie garducce

Thought there was more to see, but it was nice

Hercules Jemison

It's okay if you ask me for my first time actually going there today for my son's graduation.

Deborah Rodgers

Free great place to bring your children

Good place. It's not really for kids but I appreciate art work epically in my own back yard.

Zaire Kaczmarski

I enjoyed my visit to this museum. It is free of charge, family friendly and presents variety of modern art including emerging artists. The cafee shop offers also delicious food.

L. Michael Sanabria

It's my second visit here and I've never been disappointed. The current show on Gordon Matta Clark is a incredible record of NYC in the seventies.

Ferdinand Montalvo

It was great I have to go back

Mabel Wong

Interesting exhibition but experience was not perfect enough.

Cyndi Rivera

My sister and I went to an event. Parking is not great. Public transit is better. Lots of fun at the museum

Eric Rivera

Was there with family, great to see the local culture and arts exhibitions. My son got sick while there and the staff was kind to us as a family. I would recommend it for families.

Good place to go to know about the history of the Bronx

Fationa Tina

Great place for Family to build strong relationships together. Staffs are so helpful.

Ada Ospina

The family activity events are a great way to get children to explore the museum. If you can, visit their website and pre-register for upcoming events and skip the line when you arrive. We look forward to seeing other exhibits and attending future events.

Irving Ramirez

Cute small museum. Please sponsor it

dat gyrl Vida

It was nice just very small. Not a lot of exhibits but a few nice ones

Francheska Diaz

Not so many arts staff don't really talk to you

Raymond Geremia

Had a great day with my family and friends. My grandson & nephew were involved in various activities & I kept busy listening to cultural music & art . The staff also makes you feel at home. I highly recommend it for families ❤

Steven Chu

It's a beautiful space!- It just needs more art exhibitions happening in there!

Victor Wang

Had an absolutely fantastic time here and the unassuming small sized lobby had a ton of hidden treasures as the many interconnecting rooms are hidden from view until you explore the small space. Not a massive museum but it's easy to spend an hour or two here if you're interested in modern art. Had a great time on a rainy day and it's extremely easy to reach by public transportation. Just be careful of some of the art pieces as one of them gave me a good scare since it dropped something overhead while I was underneath and was on a timer. Just pay attention to the large artworks as a lot of them have cool movement or mechanics that make them so unique. World class facility and unbeatable at the price of admission which is free!

On the Look

Is closed.

Lee Cooks

Pretty lackluster.

The Bronx Socialite

The Bronx Museum is one of the major hubs of cultural events in the Bronx. In addition to wonderful art exhibits, the museum hosts a multitude of events including dance, music, and even cooking. There's also lots of kids' programming on the weekends. The gift shop, albeit small, features lots of items from local Bronxites. The XM Cafe in the museum works with this organization that helps people with disabilities attain job skills, which is absolutely amazing. Plus, you can't beat free admission.

Alroy Lam

It was worth it since it was free admission. There were two exhibits (4 rooms total) when I went. The subway car art work exhibit was okay (some were drawings and many were tag names). It was interesting to see how a photographer took pictures of the subway works and how he was able to connect the people who created the work. The other exhibit showed a photographer's picture of derelict warehouses, homeless people, and people in sexual acts which was interesting as it showed the buildings and actions of people during the time period. Staff member at information desk was cordial, and bathrooms were clean. There was a gift shop for the subway car art work exhibit.

Katie K

Unprofessional workers. Cool exhibits but their staff need a little service/speaking training.

Robert Mcknight

It's a must see for those the love the 1970 and 1980's writers, Henry Chalfant's show is a must see dont miss it.

T R F

Great and noice!

Eric Burgos

Super small and super trash not even worth it for free, total waste of time.I was born and raised in the Bronx and there's way more history like the greatest team in sports history the New York Yankees birth place of Hip Hop, Botanical Gardens the Bronx Zoo ect none of which is displayed in this crappy museum..Almost made me

Harry Sukhram

The exhibits were fantastic

Fernando Linares

Come and SEE THE BRONX NOT THE 5:00PM NEWS .YOU WE UNDERSTAND NOT TO BELIEVE THAT THE BRONX IS ONLY MEAN PEOPLE ,NO !!@ HERE WHERE MANY ARTISTS ARE MAKE NOT BORN, KEEP YOUR SELF DEFENSE HOME.GUNS TOO!!!!!!! THINK ♥️✌

Keith Qbnyc

Went for the Henry Chalfant art show opening night. The stuff people talk about nowadays as legend. Full sized 80s subway cars with printed pieces, a true history lesson. Saw about 100 of my graffiti mentors and friends from the 80s/90s. Anybody who knows what's up was there, and the ppl that follow & attend mainstream "street art" events were not. I won't ruin it with tons of photos but go see it while you have a chance

Sean Don

Nice and spacious.. They always have tons of activities for the community.. You can event rent out venue for an event

vinny oombotz

Rude, small handful of boring/lame exhibits, skip this place & just go to 1 of the real museums in manhattan

Leonard Mann

The only good think was that it was free

Kevin Broderick

Great show NYC Art

Jermaine Thomas Sr

The museum showcases art from minorities; also hosts a variety of plays & shows highlighting artistic expression and talents from lesser known but very talented artists & playwrights. A Must visit!

Tony Zhang

It is the smallest museum I have ever visited. Currently only one exhibition there filling one single room. The other room is empty. The museum only has three floors and the third floor is for office. Even if it is full, no much to see. The only good thing is that it is free.

Richard Talley

Fantastic

Laurie Clayborne

It is a nice museum..the staff was kind and and helpful.. there is a nice little area to sit and have coffee or conversation and I saw some great pieces.

Mary Awah

Not so big. Had more of Cuban history. The good side is that it is free. You just give a donation if you want to.
