Reviews of El Paso Museum of Art (Tourist Attraction)

Eric York

The EPMA is a very cool place to go. *FULL DISCLOSURE- My wife works there and gives me the inner scoop. The museum store is my favorite place to go besides the exhibits. Partly because the store always has really neat stuff for the …

Jeffery Palmer

Definitely worth a visit. The European section upstairs has some great pieces. Newer artists and special exhibits are downstairs and have a interesting selection as well.

M J

Had so much fun

Shay Hale

A great museum to go look at differnt art pieces. With lots to see, some one could easily spend an hour or two just looking at everything. Even has some things from Tom Lea! It's also free to the public.

SuperMisterkay

Great place for art lovers.

Angie Perez

This place used to have a lot more exhibitions in the past now all you need is a good 15 minutes and your done it needs to be the way it used to be

Twatterific

Amazing experience as always, really nice guards too.

Juliana Christine

I love this place!! You're welcome to look for free but they do have a donation box at the front if you are able to make a donation then I believe you should. Beautiful art on display and I love the local talent they display the most

Laura Borunda

Super disappointed in how they are renovating part of the musuem from June till Sept

Jennifer Adams

Amazing afternoon of art

S79r Nunya

It was large and spacious. Wish there was more art. The gangster art was disappointing to see. I feel it was a waste of space. But, art is art. Even when I think it looks ugly. Meh.

Chancho lito

Very eclectic and yet casual museum with very interesting art pieces. Tour guides are very friendly and have a myriad of activities suuted for everyone. Store has very reasonable prices.

Eileen Daniel

Beautiful in every way.

April Thornton

It was just alright. Visiting from Florida, not much to see, small collection.

Laura Benson

This is a really nice museum. Great place for the kids and parents at the same time. The place to appreciate the beautiful culture, to see amazing european art. So interesting and beautiful. Totally recommended to visit this museum. Besides it's free, but if you wish they have a donation box.

Wm Godfrey

KenDavidson73 Kreture

Being renovating. Will post more later after they reopen the whole thing.

Jesus Aldape

The El paso museum of art has a giant building that is very cool to walk around and see the art. There is less national art and a lot more of local art. It has elevator access to the seconds floor and the part that made it get rated higher …

Victor Rios

Great for family time you can even learn something.

Alex Smo

Worth a visit the art is worth the study

Rigoberto DE LA Mora

Emmanuel Moreno

The Julie Speed Exhibit was Remarkable

shane farmer

Free to the public and lots of cool art and history to see.

Keith Sharrow

Really cool exhibits especially for a free public art museum. Lots of interesting upcoming events etc. Definitely worth checking out. Plenty of close parking available for reasonable prices.

Christina Joslin

Had a group tour. Wonderful collection. Some outstanding pieces.

Steph G

This is my favorite museum at El Paso since the exhibition change regularly. Also, sometimes there are workshops that are free and open to the public. The best time to come (in my opinion) is during day of the dead. One time I spent my time painting skulls and looking at the ofrendas. Plus, it's free!

Grace Dewald

How can you go wrong with a free art museum. I really enjoyed the western art. The first floor is a changing exibit. The upstairs is heavily European finishing out with the western art. No backpacks but they do have a closet you can put them in. We went on a weekday and it was not crowded at all.

Christian Cabrera

Nice facilities and gallery

Charles Burrow

Free and pretty good exhibits. Worth the time to walk through.

Anton Conlon

Absolutely excellent. It's free but please make a donation. Wonderfully put together with a lot of borderland references. Great installations. We took an 18 year old and an 11 year old, who absolutely loved it.

Alissa Christine

The Julie Speed exhibit was a great find while I was there. Beautiful museum, even the bathroom was a work of art !!

Yvonne Castruita

I brought my daughter here as we both absolutely love art. Something I can cherish that we have in common. I love it here. Needs more artwork :)

Rod Schwenneker

Sad to say it was a disappointment. I truly was hoping for more El Paso and western history.

Bob Blackburn

Great exhibit of the allegorical art of Julie Sweet.

2K Global

Awesome place to take the kids, great for sparking imagination. I go here sometimes if I have writers block.

Trippy Pupz

Beautiful quaint museum in the heart of downtown El Paso. Free admission & two floors of lovely art decorating the blank walls. There’s even a nifty gift shop in the front entrance. Not quite a day trip since the museum is fairly small but if you are in the area stop by after grabbing some lunch or running errands in the city

marco nathal

Great experience for the whole family. They do awesome events from time to time. A must go to in El Paso.

Andre 3Thou

It has many new exhibits recently, very enjoyable. Take a day to visit.

Rachael Lantier

I love coming here with my son, and I especially like how there is some interactive art. The only downfall personally is the size of the museum, but the staff is wonderful.

Jessica Sepulveda

Small museum right in the heart of El Paso with great local art and surprisingly big name artists’ work, such as Jeff Koons. Large sculptures and changing exhibits. Area for kids where they can create their own art. No entrance fee, and a great gift shop. Only drawback is parking a about a block or so away, but not a big deal. Don’t miss this museum and make a donation on your way out.

R. Z. Lyient

Not really much to this place!

Belinda P

Beautifully kept! Hadn't been here in years. Glad to see they added art rooms! Today they had plenty of crafts available for children. All free of charge!

julio guerrero

Beautifull. Enjoyable great art.love the religious art

Dre Boiy

Even though there's not allot of exhibits to look at. The art that's there will take a minute to look at. Enjoy I did.

Lanelle Wong Holt

Iris S

Love it! Ever changing & always interesting.

Angelite Ziesemer

Great, free place for a simple date while you're downtown.

jay swift

Free to enter, awesome place if you need some time to burn, they dont change exhibits often

Dany T

Has a great collection of art, well maintained. I will recommend visitors to visit this place. The only drawback is the parking lot, there is no or very small parking space so, is better to park your vehicle within by 0.5miles from the museum.

Lucile Christie

Awesome display of El Paso Great and Finest Artist Tom Lea! Take your Family to see this true perspective on War... His books are for sale Too!

Bin Lin

Amazing place great art very friendly guides

Kevin Vaughan

Ir is a nice small free museum. They often change the special selection area. A nice collection of western art with el paso themed, and 13th and 14th European Christian collection

Vanessa Quintana

Great exhibit going on right now. Cheech Marin has graciously brought his art collection to El Paso. The picture I posted is of Melo! from Juarez Chihuahua Mexico. He's one of the best artists on the border. It's always a great experience at this museum.

Patsy Lopez

Great exhibits and staff. Near downtown restaurants.

Jossie Pena

They always have new art to show and it's amazing

Katrina Diaz

Excellent exhibit of Jose Posada prints! I loved the layout they used for the exhibition, very well put together with new pieces scattered amongst the museums timeless pieces. Always a treat. :)

Ramon Espinosa

Beautiful art work

David Watts

Small little exhibit by a local artist, we were surprised that they had closed the majority of the museum to place new exhibits

Shaun Holguin

They have summer camps for children.

Art Kushner

Excellent museum for a smaller city. Free admission makes it a great place to spend an hour or two.

jessica moreno

Free your mind. The rest will follow. I'm like 50/50 on how adventures pan out... that's me being honest... but its art and how much better can it get! Trust me and do it. If your skeptical... If anything...Go for the air conditioner on a July afternoon, and give it a genuine chance. Your mind and heart deserve that. :)

Margaret Peraino

Had activities for children also

Natasha Smith

I've been here 3 times now and it's always interesting! I love how they are always adding new exhibits. Great way to kill some time downtown.

David Gayton

Great little museum... very welcoming entrance is free

Sam Leyva

It was my first time at the art museum and I was pleasantly surprised. There are various collections and there is lots of space so that you can move around and appreciate the various works of art. The gift shop has a nice collection of assorted gifts. I would recommend the museum to locals and visitors.

Ubaldo Robles

Wonderful exhibition of 3D space by Laura Turon. She brought a bus that represented a bending lattice inside of it. She made it so well that one can feel the space being bent inside.

Very good place to visit. They are working on a room so one huge section is closed off currently.

David F. Guereca

The El Paso Museum if art is a really good showcase of art in general but more specifically of El Pasoan Art. I had to go for a school project but ended up seriously intrigued by some of the art pieces. The ambient and quietness of the …

Sean Doe

I wish they had a little more things to view.

Christopher Crane

Really a fantastic place. It's probably not properly appreciated. And it's free!

This museum exceeded all expectations for a free art museum. The permanent collection was nice, but I LOVED the Transborder exhibit in collaboration with their sister museum in Ciudad Juarez. It was very interesting. Absolutely worth a …

We went for the dia de los muertos festival and the museum had fun activities for the kids and beautiful artwork. It was a great experience!

Beautiful area, lots of pieces of art on display but seemed to be a bit too much of historical art and not alot of contemporary and modern art. But then again one of the wings were closed for construction so will have to revisit later.

Elizabeth Martinez

Constantly adding new art. Variety of art styles themes and stuff like that. Never packed. Cool air. Not just paintings it also has amazing sculptures and three dimensional art. Highly recommend checking it out. It also has a gift shop with a variety of cool stuff from books to pins to soap.

Christopher Aguillar

I spent a good chunk of m my afternoon there a few weeks ago with my mother. Lots of wonderful things for your eyes to soak up! I highly suggest the Julie Speed exhibit before it disappears. She had become one of my favorite artists! Her attention to detail is quite fulfilling!

Interesting museum. Not a great museum for children or teenagers. I was disappointed that a lot of the art was in Spanish, only because I couldn't fully understand the piece of artwork in order to comprehend it.

Pink Miss Flower

I really like it here! It's so relaxing, and I love to see all of the art, and it's even more fun when you bring family! Definitely recommend to relax if you enjoy admiring art

The El Paso Museum of Art is a staple visit for anyone visiting Downtown El Paso. They are constantly featuring artists of Hispanic and Native origin which reflects the values of the city

joshua steadman

So much to look at.

Jonathan Wright

Right in downtown El Paso. Good amount of space. Has a gift shop. The artists on display on the first floor were modern and some local. The rest of the building has excellent colonial art including the bust if George Washington that was used for the dollar bill.

Emma Mackay

Thank you for educating our community.

Afolarin Oyeleke

Fun place to visit, excellent collection of artifacts and paintings especially for a small museum.
