They had a bunch of wood block prints of the same guy who did the famous print of a tsunami wave crashing in front of Mount Fuji. Cool! The gallery had thoughtfully placed interpretive signs throughout the gallery talking about the significance of the pieces and a bit of info about each piece, along with the artists' names, and the media used. They also had a separate area for a specific artist, where they could spread out and show off a variety of works in 2 and 3 dimensions. There was an attendant on duty, but she kept to herself, other than welcoming me in, and thanking me for stopping by. Near the exit, scope out the free stuff! Instead of a store, they just ask for a small donation- I got a bunch of postcards, a few books, and a pencil! Score! The gallery is a quiet respite from the student union. It has limited seating, and I'm not sure if this is an appropriate place to bring a book and read for hours. But if you just need a change of pace after getting lunch at the student union, this is a great place to check out. It's free!

Really? No one has reviewed the bookstore?! Well I don't know where to start now! Truthfully, I…read morenever bought books here when I was student because I was always able to find them cheaper at the off campus stores. But, I will say the amount of Aggie merchandise is outstanding! Way more then you'd ever find at the other outfitter creation stores. They care several higher quality name brands too. Ladies- the women's selection is great! If you want something sporty yet still flattering, come here! It may cost a little more but with brands like Columbia, Jansport, and Under Armor, I think it's worth it. I also this it's great how many Aggie written books you can find here. They often host book signings by former classmen who have authored books. With the remodeling of the MSC, a full size convenient store and a Starbucks with lounge have been added. Really great place to take visitors. Fair warning on gamedays though... the place gets extremely packed, but thankfully they set up line control at the registers so help get people on their way.

I love that it's filled with the works of local artists, all of whom are exceptionally talented. On First Fridays, they bring in musicians, host local artists, and create a great environment to spend an evening with friends. They do sell a variety of pieces - paintings, stationary cards, prints, jewelry, etc. A pack of cards definitely caught my eye, but just a heads up, they are a little pricier than you would expect for similar goods elsewhere. But then again, they are much rarer and more unique. I think a pack of six or seven cards were about $15. So, not insanely pricey, but definitely a little more than I would expect to pay. There's such a great diversity of artwork - you'll definitely find something wonderful that suits your taste.

The two ladies that served us were very pleasant and happy to be of service! I was genuinely impressed at how happy these two ladies were to be helping us enjoy our evening of catching up. I must say, every employee I encountered was very pleasant. Working at the BKG & Wine Depot must be enjoyable because you could tell they all genuinely loved their work. I was able to meet the owner; he made sure to greet each guest and make sure they felt welcome; he is nothing short of wonderful! Since it was a chilly night, we only had a few people enjoy the amazing outdoor space they have. I can see that this outdoor space would call to the small group of friends wanting to catch up or the individual that needs to wind down after work and get deeper into that book they have been meaning to spend more time with! While in the area, make a point to stop and get your relax on! You will not be disappointed! Most Sincerely!

This gallery is on the second floor of the Student Center building. It's pretty simple with two or…read morethree rooms of exhibits, but they have an unusual and spectacular collection. On this visit there was a temporary exhibition of glass paperweights. You might think you've seen enough of those at antique malls, but the artistry and quality of this collection is pretty amazing. There were so many display cases well lit to show off the colors and geometry, some with figures or historical designs, many abstract decorative pieces, all pretty stunning works of art. But even more breathtaking is a new acquisition of an antique diorama made entirely of carved bovine bones representing Chinese pagodas with stands of bamboo and trees, numerous figures in the gardens fishing, flying kites, or other activities, all in roughly 1/48 scale. Everything is so intricately detailed you could stare at it for hours admiring the artistry and time it must have taken to finish. And you'll be pulled in by the stories told by each figure going about his business in such a marvelous setting. This gallery presumably changes regularly so I would definitely go back again. Their collection includes glass objects by Tiffany, paintings, and more. The admission was free when I visited on a Saturday, which was appreciated. There's some difficulty parking since it's on campus with complicated one-way streets and the only option may be the nearby garage that appears to charge $3 an hour, but it's worth it!
