Every floor also features an activity area for groups and kids in the back. It's a nice feature. The first floor is mostly the shop with a lot of cool, some of it local art. Not bad prices either. The next two floors up have rotating exhibits with art in a variety of forms. You can see the whole place in a relatively short amount of time and you'll have a great time!

There was an awesome gift shop with fun and unique gifts for purchase, and there was a coffee shop inside. Prices are also reasonable too, $8 for adults. Jasmine was a huge help, explaining the current exhibits going on and answering our questions. I would definitely come back here again and recommend checking it out if you're in the area.

That's what happened today when a friend and I stumbled into Kore Gallery. The gallery has been in this rehabbed warehouse space over a year. They have monthly events with the artists, wine, cheese.

The new location is painted an eye popping purple so it is hard to miss. The gallery hosts a lot of shows many of which feature local artists. They also have a small gift shop. The new location backs up to the outdoor space which was created when the Butcher Block development was restored. The gallery features a wide range of art so stop in often.

We were just on a day trip to LaGrange Ky and happened into a thrift store, when a soft voice said,…read more"do you want to come upstairs?" Always up for a challenge, of course I said SURE!! Little did we know there is an art studio on the second floor of the building. I had just had knee replacement surgery 8 weeks earlier and it was well worth the climbing of the stairs. Karen was welcoming and full of interesting information. Her art may look familiar, but she puts her own twist on things. My favorite piece is the Marilyn Monroe painting. Most photos or paintings you see of Marilyn exhibit a buxom blonde bombshell. Karen's rendering gave a sweeter and more interesting twist to this iconic figure. I asked if I could take pictures to put on Yelp and Karen was more than willing to let me do so. She offers photography, painting classes and uses materials that are nontoxic. I should have bought the Marilyn painting( but there were so many to choose from that I really couldn't decide. Guess I'll just have to go back again!

I also recommend coming on Sunday when admission is free, though you will still have to pay $7 per person to access the special exhibits on the top floor. The Abstract Expressionism special exhibit I saw was well worth the $7. Next to the museum is a paid parking garage. There's some nice gifts that can be purchased in the museum store. Speed was founded in 1925 by philanthropist Hattie Bishop Speed as a memorial to her husband, James Speed, an art collector. The Speed Museum is the largest art museum in Kentucky and is located next to the University of Louisville campus. Some areas of art on display include 20th and 21st century painting and sculpture, ancient Egyptian, African, ancient Chinese, German, French impressionism, 17th century English architectural designs and 17th century Dutch paintings as well.

I saw some big names, like Picasso, but it is also a place to find folk artists and local Kentucky and Southern artists. They have all kinds of stuff here. I enjoyed looking at all of the artwork -- paintings, sculptures and such. But my favorite part of Speed Art Museum is Art Sparks, a gallery that's designed for all ages, but especially children. There are lots of hands-on activities in Art Sparks, plus places to sit and read books or just spread out and play. Spaces like this are important to have in art museums, and I'm glad that Speed designated a space just for children. I had a teen and a tween with me during my visit, and we spent a good portion of time in the Art Sparks area. My children do just fine in an art museum, but they're not going to read any of the placards or absorb any of the nuances that surround each art piece. So this interactive area suit them just fine. Random but related: This museum smells amazing! I don't know what kind of candle they have burning here or what kind of fragrance they have piped into the vents, but the ambient scent is so nice.
