Fun place to get away from everything if you need some peace and quiet. It's free to the public and…read moreyou can walk in any time when it's open. Check the website for dates and times. Right now they have The Hildebrandt artwork collection on display with some incredible pieces on the Hobbit, Lond of the Rings and other fairytales. That area does not allow photography. The other areas hold UVU student artwork for you to enjoy. It's nice because they'll allow kids to sketch the artwork not in the collection piece, for school as my son needed to for a school art project.

The BYU Museum of Art on campus was a really fantastic surprise and an easy highlight of my visit…read more I could not believe it was free given how spectacular many of the works on display were. The exhibitions were thoughtfully arranged, easy to follow, and paired with helpful descriptions that actually made me want to slow down and read them. There were plenty of students around to answer questions, and everyone I interacted with was friendly and knowledgeable. It ended up being a wonderful stop on my trip and one I would happily recommend to anyone visiting the area.

This is probably the most interesting museum I've ever visited! There weren't many visitors when I…read morearrived, so I was able to take my time navigating the museum.

Cute little shop inside. What an architectural gem. Well taken care of. You can tell the city takes pride in this museum. Movies have been filmed here.

Weddings, funerals and baby showers are all held in different areas of the museum. Catering can come work with your event because of their full kitchen.

After being closed for renovations the Monte L.

I marveled at this fact as I walked around. And I heard many other patrons comment on it, as well. It's so hard to believe a place like this, in this day-and-age is free! Anyway, as you walk up you can look in the windows & see animals like: a polar bear, & big-horned sheep. The museum itself is so light & airy! The lobby has not one, but two giraffes on display! Around every corner, & up every staircase; you will be delighted. They've done wonders with the displays. Everything looks so authentic. I thought everything was really cool, & not at all creepy. In the back corner of the museum they have a play area for kids, that my children adored! I would come back in a heartbeat!

When it's closed, you can peer inside the windows to see the art, but during business hours, you can open the door and get a closer look. There are a few pieces of art along the walls and a regular sized magnifying glass to observe the work. Everything is mini. It's kitschy and cute. I'd love to see the exhibits change out over time and maybe feature different artists. Perhaps that's what they do, but I wasn't sure.

I think I was hoping for something a little more modern, a little more about contemporary culture…read morerather than civilizations in antiquity. That said, if you're an anthropologist, or play one on TV, this would be a cool place for you to visit. The museum is small, but has a decent amount of things on display. There are plaques and signs that explain the items, but they read more like a textbook and don't really capture my attention. It almost has a middle school science fair vibe to it-things on display with a lot of text next to it. Doesn't really tell a story or inspire the reader in a way that leaves an impression. Of all the museums I've been to (and I love museums), this one was pretty "meh." However, it's free, with easy parking onsite. That's something!

In the back is where all the magic happens. The main area is a student curated exhibit hall. Since it is newer, there is room for some major potential. It is bigger than the previous one so I hope they can get some good exhibits going. Admission is free. Looking for a date thing to do? This would be a good place to check out. Plenty of free parking out front.
